Hypothetical Situation
May. 3rd, 2009 10:04 amHi, everyone! I'm on a quest for book recommendations, but instead of just coming out and asking for them, I thought it might be fun to ask this: If you had $100 to spend at the book seller of your choice (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, that awesome local store, Powell's, Bigwords.com, etc.) what would you buy?
I would go for:
The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman
Three Plays: Blood Wedding, Yerma, The House of Bernarda Alba by Frederico Garcia Lorca
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, A Novel by Michael Chabon
Manhunt: The 12 Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer by James L Swanson
Cassandra: A Novel and Four Essays by Christa Wolf
Memoirs of Montparnasse by John Glassco
The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen
Inventing the Victorians by Matthew Sweet
The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers
As a disclaimer, I should note that I haven't read any of these myself, only heard that they were good.
