23.The Mitford Bedside Companion: A Treasury of Favorite Mitford Moments, Author Reflections on the Bestselling Selling Series, and More. Much More. by: Jan Karon October 02, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.88 You Save: $5.12 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.98
The "Mitford Bedside Companion" is a wonderful collection of many of the favorite moments that fans of Jan Karon's Mitford series cherish most. This is a perfect book to pack for that plane ride or hotel room, when you don't have time to get into an entire novel. It's also great to keep by a comfortable chair (or bed, as the name implies) and it might just end up in your kitchen, as well, as you try one of the tasty recipes (including the luscious Orange Marmalade Cake that sent Father Tim into a diabetic coma). One of the most delightful features is the "Cast of Characters" in which Ms. Karon has kindly listed every person who has appeared in her Mitford novels; it's a great help for first-time readers, as well as old friends of the series who are enjoying them again after a time away from ...

24.Shakespeare's Words: A Glossary and Language Companion by: David Crystal, Ben Crystal December 31, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.60 You Save: $6.40 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $11.96
This book is a very helpful guide for everyone, who wants to study Shakespeare. I am not a native english speaker and it was perfect for understanding the necessary terminology. I suppose that the content of the book is also precious for native english speakers. The book contains: 1) A very important chapter which contains the most frequently used words, and proves to be valuable for quick reference. 2) Words which still exist in the english language but with a different meaning. 3) Words which vanished through the years. 4) Several chapters describing the structure of several shakespeare's works. In all cases the meanings of the words are simply stated and well clarified providing a perfect guide for every intermediate reader.

27.Our Mutual Friend by: Charles Dickens March 01, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.00
The filth upon which wealth and pomp can be constructed is a central image in this, Dickens's deepest and darkest novel. The tale revolves around an inheritance based on London's trash. The River Thames - a central personage in the novel - is a moody muddy cloaca of murders and misanthropy. Yes, there are love interests, tra la, and love does triumph, though the victory seems shadowed by the deception it involves. And there's the murder mystery, as murky as any detective fiction lover could wish. And of course the ending is sappy and implausible, so mood-shattering that you may wish you'd lost the book on the bus before finishing it. This is Dickens, after all. Nevertheless, Our Mutual Friend is easily a candidate for "the greatest Victorian novel of all" and a very entertaining novel as well, gut ... Read More

29.The Canterbury Tales (Oxford World's Classics) by: Geoffrey Chaucer December 05, 1985
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.97
Please note: The Bantam version (translated by Hieatt) only contains the most popular of the Tales. (Use the "Inside this Book" feature to check the table of contents, as I, alas, did not.) The facing page translation is just what I was looking for, but really wanted the complete set.
