Brave New World

An interesting twist on an alternate reality
This book is a great classic written by an amazing author. it brings us almost 700 years into the future to a world where Ford is God and humans beings are manufactured and designated into different mental classes at birth. they range from the athletic and intelligent ...
  
  











  



  
The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five (Canopus in Argos: Archives)
Doris May Lessing, Doris Lessing

Flamingo, 1994

A brilliant transformational map!
I read this brilliant and much beloved book of Doris Lessing every year. And I learn something more from it each time I read it. There is one page near the end of the book which is rippled with my tears of past readings. Each time I read it, I think that I won't cry ...
  
  











  



  
The Atrocity Exhibition (Flamingo Modern Classics)
J.G. Ballard

Flamingo, 2001

the atrocity exhibition
the atrocity exhibition is a watershed and seminal work in the canon of jg ballard. ballard is regarded and indeed classified as a writer in the 'science fiction' genre. if you consider science fiction to be the domain of 'star wars' et al. then reappraise, reevaluate ...
  
  











  



  
Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire
Amanda Foreman

Flamingo, 1999

A Modern Woman In The Eighteenth Century
Georgiana Spencer Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, was born in the eighteenth century and died in the early nineteenth century, but her life was very modern in many ways. She was an open activist at a time when women were supposed to stay behind the scenes, a bold ...
  
  











  



  
The Fifth Child (Paladin Books)
Doris May Lessing

Flamingo, 2001

The monster within
A conservative, tradition-bound family; a large house always filled with children and guests and friends and animals; a pleasure-filled, if harried, oasis in the middle of England--this is the setting into which Doris Lessing introduces her monster. Even before ...

Amy Tan

Interpreter of Maladies
Jhumpa Lahiri

Flamingo, 2000

One of the best books I've ever read
To give a frame of reference, some of my favorite authors are Margaret Atwood and Barbara Kingsolver. I have searched and searched for another introspective, intelligent, strong female voice, and finally I have found it. I plan on buying every one of her books and ...
  
  











  



  
The Age of Kali
William Dalrymple

Flamingo, 1999

Few writers with as much skill as William Dalrymple
Some writers work harder than others. They write better than others. And they do it in a way that's so fluid and relaxed. William Dalrymple surely is one of those. You could pick up a Dalrymple book blindly, and expect to enter a world that's interesting, rich, crazy, ...
  
  











  



  
Jacklight
Louise Erdrich

Henry James: A Life
Leon Edel

In Xanadu
William Dalrymple

Flamingo, 1999

Jerusalem to Xanadu on $1100
William Dalrymple travelled 12,000 miles overland from Jerusalem to Xanadu in order to retrace the journey of Marco Polo, and I think the Venetian probably had the easier trip--- in 1271 Marco Polo didn't have to smuggle himself along the Silk Route by burrowing into ...
  
  











  



  
From the Holy Mountain
William Dalrymple

Flamingo, 1998

one of my favourites of all time
From the Holy Mountain deserves to be put along side such other classics of the genre as the Road to Oxiana and a Time of Gifts. It is erudite, witty, scholarly & compassionate in its treatment of the subject of Christian Minorities in the Middle East. This book means ...
  
  











  



  
The Mulberry Empire
Philip Hensher

Flamingo, 2003
  
  











  



  
The Algebra of Infinite Justice
Arundhati Roy

Flamingo, 2002

An Angel is She
Though her writing may appeal primarily to left-wing intellectuals, this book is a person every individual should have on his or her bookshelf. Her longest essay in this book, The Greater Common Good, focuses on large dam construction, but covers many issues of ...
