The Nick Adams Stories

The Grapes of Wrath

Moby Dick

Dracula

An anthology of Papa's semi-autobiographical Nick Adams shorts.  Includes The Big Two-Hearted River, possibly the best outdoor story ever told. One of the greatest of all American novels.  A displaced Oklahoma farm family struggles to survive as migrant workers in Depression-era California. No description should be necessary.  Classic tale of obsession, although the language is archaic and Melville is rather long-winded. What can I say about Dracula?  A horrific love story that stretches through centuries.
And much, much more...

The Golden Bough

The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness

Roomies!  Book One

The Mists of Avalon

The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions.

"If any single work could bring mankind to its senses, this book might qualify for that miracle. . . . This book is the product of one of the most penetrating, most mature minds of our time."

-Lewis Mumford

David Willis is one of the most talented young comic artists in the business.  Roomies! Book One is a compilation of the first half of his first strip, Roomies!, along with original sketches, untold stories, and much more. 

(And I've got an autographed copy.)

Even readers who don't normally enjoy Arthurian legends will love this version, a retelling from the point of view of the women behind the throne. Morgaine (more commonly known as Morgan Le Fay) and Gwenhwyfar (a Welsh spelling of Guinevere) struggle for power, using Arthur as a way to score points and promote their respective worldviews.

No Time for Sergeants

One of the funniest books I've ever read.  Will Stockdale, a young man from the most remote backwoods of Georgia, is inducted into the Army.  Hilarity ensues.  In his first major movie role, Andy Griffith played the young Stockdale in the movie.  The book is vastly better.
