| 1. |  | The Chrysalids (New York Review Books Classics) from NYRB Classics Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  Centuries after a nuclear war has devastated the world, a small civilization survives in Labrador. The citizens are controlled by a belief that they are made in the true form of God, and anyone who deviates from the true form is an inhuman creation of Satan. Any crops and animals that deviate from... |

| 2. |  | The Prestige from Tor Books Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  Nothing to add to the other reviews in terms of plot critique other than the magic is just too Spontaneous Generation-ish (a pile of straw and dung turns into mice kind of thinking) and I wasn't willing to suspend my disbelief. I did very much like the descriptions of the principles of stage magic... |

| 3. |  | Logic: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.56 Customer Review:  I'm not a student in college. I'm just someone at home with an interest in learning Logic. This was the first book that I've read on the subject and I can say that it was very difficult for me to understand it. Even though I've tried and retried many times. For someone just starting out, and wanting... |

| 4. |  | Fathom from Tor Books Price: $17.13 Customer Review:  Fathom is a story of two teenage girls, a handful of gods and a dead pirate. It gave me a lot to think about while it was a lot of fun to read. One of the girls, one of the gods and the dead pirate are working together to destroy the world. But the enjoyment in reading the book isn't so much in the... |

| 5. |  | Inverted World (New York Review Books Classics) from NYRB Classics Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Sparse language in a surreal world. This book will make you ponder about what is real, what is perceived and what is in-between. |

| 6. |  | The Inclusive Bible: The First Egalitarian Translation (Sheed & Ward Book) from Sheed & Ward Price: $26.37 Customer Review: For more than 30 years, I have wished for a Bible translation of the quality of this one, and finally, it is here! I could not ask for a more sensitive treatment of so many "issues" that plague the several other English language Bible versions to which I have been exposed. The authors have done far... |

| 7. |  | The Invisible Man (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $6.00 Customer Review: My knowledge of this tale dates from the old Claude Rains movie, so it was interesting, as usual, to go back to the source and see what Wells actually wrote. While very short,the novel falls into two halves: the first faintly comic (you can see it peopled by all those Universal British character... |

| 8. |  | Effective Leadership In Adventure Programming from Human Kinetics Publishers Price: $39.20 Customer Review: If you either are an adventure activities leader, or in training to be one Effective Leadership in Adventure Programming is an invalueable book to have at hand. If you are already one it is usful for doing self reviews on your current performances, as it at the end of each of the 22 chapters it... |

| 10. |  | Dreadful Skin from Far Territories Price: $10.17 Customer Review: An Irish nun pursues an English werewolf through the American south--but in order to kill a monster, she may have to become a monster herself. The story is told in three sections, each with a distinct narrative style--a choice which holds reader attention but fragments the book. Dreadful Skin is not... |

| 12. |  | JLA Vol. 4: Strength in Numbers from DC Comics Price: $10.19 Customer Review: So by this point, I'm pretty much into the groove of Grant Morrison's writing and I didn't really think he would surprise me with anything new or exciting, but with the first story in here he did it. We are introduced to a new villain, Prometheus, and he is just too cool. He's basically the... |

| 13. | [no image] | Batman: Contagion Price: $28.99 Customer Review: Batman: Contagion is a crossover story arc in the Batman comics taking place after the Knightfall Saga and before No Man's Land. A plague has come to Gotham and Batman and his allies must race to find the cure. The premise sounds interesting, but the execution itself is average at best. The... |

| 14. |  | Not Flesh Nor Feathers from Tor Books Price: $11.21 Customer Review: I picked this up in the library, because it looked captivating. And it was! But... I had to go grab the first two books and read them before this made ANY sense. You cannot read this alone. As others have gone into the plot, I will do more of a description of the series, from a newcomer's... |

| 15. |  | Wings to the Kingdom from Tor Books Price: $11.21 Customer Review: My biggest problem with Wings to the Kingdom is that after going back to Four and Twenty Blackbirds, I have to find something worthy to read until Oct 2, when Not Flesh Nor Feathers comes out. I loved Eden. The combat boots, the Death Nugget, the whole thing. And every time Benny nearly pees in his... |

| 16. |  | Four and Twenty Blackbirds from Tor Books Price: $13.45 Customer Review: Pulled me in from the first page and kept me there until I finished the book. I liked it so much I went ahead and ordered the next two books in the Eden Moore series. |

| 17. |  | The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace with America's Military from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.96 Customer Review:  It is obvious that Dana Priest learned a lot in the late 1990s and early 21st century traveling the world. If not for 9/11, she may have published a must read on American foreign and military policy. Unfortunately (for a lot of reasons), 9/11 did occur and it looks like Priest had to hurry back to... |

| 18. |  | A Dictionary of Philosophy from Macmillan UK Customer Review: Philosophy has as many different and varied definitions as there are thinkers and philosophers to define it. This book is a comprehensive reference guide in A to Z format of the personalities, terminology, and definitions of hundreds of philosophers and schools of thought, from classical time... |

| 19. |  | The Separation from Old Earth Books Price: $19.50 Customer Review: I love this book and have given it to several people who've loved it as much as I do. I'm sorry that people were let down by the reviews. One person got bored, one found the writing was horrible, and one felt it was the worst book he'd ever read. But those reviews make sense: Chris Priest is... |

| 20. |  | Green Lantern: Sleepers (Book 1) from I Books Customer Review: Reading this might make you turn green. As far as the writing goes, anyway, it is rather bad. A bit of a shame, as with Qward, a Sinestro plot, humans being left power rings of the yellow variety, and a bunch of cameos like Green Arrow, Black Canary, Plastic Man, Superman, Hal Jordan, Alan... |

| 21. |  | Trafficking in Sheep: A Memoir: From Off-Broadway, New York, to Blue Island, Nova Scotia from Countryman Price: $19.95 Customer Review: This is, indeed a story about a woman and her sheep, and it is certainly not a "tell-all" about Anne Barclay Priest, but after I read it I found myself wondering about her none the less. The sheep are great, but the woman is fascinating, as much for what she doesn't tell you as for what she does.... |

| 22. |  | Midwich Cuckoos (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Putnam~trade Customer Review: I loved this book. The only thing (and I'm kind of embarassed to say it) that I didn't like was the proliferation of Anglicisms. I'm an American, and there were a few references I just didn't get. |

| 24. |  | 100 Must-Read Science Fiction Novels (Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide S.) from A&C Black Price: $9.95 Customer Review: This book is a huge help to SF novice readers who are otherwise well read. Mr Andrews' introduction is wise and whip smart and links the reviewed books to their historical and literary contexts as well their cultural cousins in music and film. I've been encouraged to explore books I would not have... |

Goes deep into compatibility/uncompatibility of various realities and how shifts of... |

| 28. |  | Ragged Man from Bootleg Press Price: $13.50 Customer Review: Give my a good, scary story any day of the week, or a thriller, I like those too, but if you can make it a scary thriller, one with a nasty villain or better yet a villainous monster and you'll really have me hooked. That's what we have here, a bad guy who is really bad. A bad guy who is hard to... |

| 29. |  | The Prism of Lyra: An Exploration of Human Galactic Heritage from Light Technology Publications Customer Review: This little book contains an energetic history of creation and the human race. It's presentation is more vibrational rather than factual. This writing is not the kind of detailed work as other writers like Marciniak or Cori. However, if you can tune into intuition and make the bridge from left to... |
