books by Pantheon     books:     Pantheon      House of Leaves Mark Z. Danielewski Pantheon, 2000 Cronenberg For Movie Who else here thinks this book should be made into a movie by David Cronenberg? It makes perfect sense. He's taken on this type of subject matter before. I think the notion of directing "unfilmmable books" really intrigues the guy, i.e. Burroughs "Naked Lunch" and ...             Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood Marjane Satrapi Pantheon, 2004 Awesome Experience Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!             The Complete Persepolis: Now a Major Motion Picture Marjane Satrapi Pantheon, 2007 Totally absolutely loved it Without harping too much on what has already been said about the political observations that Satrapi makes or her commentary on the limits faced by everyone (and most especially) women in Iran, the truly inspirational achievement of this work is how honest she can be ...             Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body Neil Shubin Pantheon, 2008 Fascinating and in-depth science, light-hearted writing This author has been involved for many years in key research to discover the genes and processes that shape our bodies and how these have evolved through the history of living things. I was thrilled to see a book written by him, and hoped I would not be disappointed. ...             Netherland: A Novel Joseph O'Neill Pantheon, 2008 A Dream of the West There is a lot to recommend in Netherland: Joseph O'Neil's elegant and propulsive prose, a magnificent tour of New York past and present, and a peek into the world of cricket. As intoxicating as these pleasures are, it's the narrative they embellish that proves the ...             The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories Herodotus Pantheon, 2007 Wonderful classic historical read There are certain classic texts that every serious student of history should own. However, the last thing you would ever probably want to do with some is take them off your shelf and read them. The archaic language, the stultifying syntax, and the obscure references ...             Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life Carl Zimmer Pantheon, 2008 A Surprisingly Universal Microbiology Inside your gut are maybe a hundred trillion cells. The number is an interesting one, because these cells sitting in your digestive tract outnumber the neurons, muscle cells, and other cells that make "you" by ten to one. In other words, by the numbers, your own ...             The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives Leonard Mlodinow Pantheon, 2008 The Odds Are This is A Fine Book A famous French mathematician of the eighteenth century, Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, wrote several books on probability. In one, he analyzed what happens if you toss two coins. You can either get zero heads, or one, or two, he reasoned, so the chance of any of these ...             The Miracle at Speedy Motors: The New Novel in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series (No. 1 Ladies' ... Alexander Mccall Smith Pantheon, 2008 Absolutely Charming, As Always If you have not listened to the Ladies Detective Agency books on CD, narrated by the incomparable Lisette Lecat, do yourself a favor and get one immediately! I love these books, but when I listen to the pronounciations (e.g., Pooh-tee Rah-tah-POO-tee), I feel like I am ...             The Age of American Unreason Susan Jacoby Pantheon, 2008 History of the United States, Volume II Susan Jacoby has written a masterpiece in interpretation of modern U.S. history. I lived through many of the decades she has so eloquently and succinctly unravelled and had no idea what was actually going on until reading this piece. It is the best, most lucid, most ...             The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel Alexander Mccall Smith Pantheon, 2008             Mind's Eye: An Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery (Inspector Van Veeteren Mysteries) Hakan Nesser Pantheon, 2008 Another Chief Inspector to love! This is the first in the Inspector Van Veeteren mystery series. It is an intricately plotted mystery with several murder victims, but it is impossible to say more without giving away a major plot development. So if you buy this book, don't read the description given on ...             Patriot Pirates: The Privateer War for Freedom and Fortune in the American Revolution Robert H. Patton Pantheon, 2008 new perspective, well told This was very enlightening for me. I got a totally new sense of the down-and-dirty Revolutionary world. There are ocean battles in it, but if that's all you're looking for there are probably other books to go to. This one has a much wider scope that includes business, ...             Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition Anne Morrow Lindbergh Pantheon, 1991 A Few Shells What timeless wisdom there is in this little book. Although it was written many decades ago, the challenges and issues faced by Anne Morrow Lindbergh are the same ones faced by women in today's crazy, bustling world. In fact, although women in Siberia, Cameroon, or ...             Bush's Law: The Remaking of American Justice Eric Lichtblau Pantheon, 2008 A Must read--even if it makes you sick It took me a while to read this book. Not because it wasn't well written, on the contrary, it is an extremely well written book. No, I could only stomach around 20 or so pages at a time, before I was so angry I had to put it down. This is a must read for people who ...          products you might be interested in search for books 5-billion-year, anniversary, netherland, persepolis, randomness, revolution we recommend Cronenberg For Movie randomly chosen book: Better for All the World: The Secret History of Forced Sterilization and ...
