Under the Dome: A Novel
Stephen King

Scribner, 2009

Dome light
UNDER THE DOME is one long novel, but it probably isn't Stephen King's last word about the way isolation brings out the best and worst in people. After all, he's written on the theme repeatedly, from the vampire-dominated `Salem's Lot to the post-apocalyptic ...
  
  











  



  
Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006
Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, ...

Scribner, 2006

The Bible of cookbooks
I have used this cookbook for years. It has so much more than receipes like the how to's and why's of cooking. I bought it for my 26 year old son who is single. He was thrilled!
  
  











  



  
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Scribner, 1999

One of the best
I've read so much literature in my life and "The Great Gatsby" is one of the best pieces of American literature I have ever read; it's touching, it's dramatic, and it speaks to people of any background. The book transcends time. It is as true and exciting in 2010 as in ...
  
  











  



  
Her Fearful Symmetry: A Novel
Audrey Niffenegger

Scribner, 2009

Captivating, Surprising Twists and Turns
This is the first novel by Audrey Niffenegger that I have read, and I was truly captivated by this plot. It is a very interesting look at one family's experiences with the afterlife and the tragic, yet in some ways untragic, impact that life-altering decisions can have ...

Provides a survey of our mass consumption of popular culture
EATING THE DINOSAUR is for any library strong in cultural reflection or history. It provides a survey of our mass consumption of popular culture, offering new, previously unpublished pieces reflecting on everything from the radical nature of football to time travel's ...
  
  











  



  
The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Jeannette Walls

Scribner, 2006

Moving
A tale about a girl's life, ascending from a dysfunctional family and the hardships the parents put their children through. It just gives you hope, that whatever you strive for, even if it's just food on the table, you can achieve it, if you want it badly enough. ...
  
  











  



  
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
Harold McGee

Scribner, 2004

Geat cooking reference every cook should have!
First of all, always buy a great cooking reference book like this in hardcover as you will be turning to it again and again and a hardcover will certaily last longer. I make sure I buy all my good reference and cook books in hardcover so they will last. Next, the ...

Terrific read!
A wonderful true to life story. Walls is great at making her grandmother's voice come alive.
  
  











  



  
Brooklyn: A Novel
Colm Toibin

Scribner, 2009

The Real Irish
Not really a story about Brooklyn as much as a story in Brooklyn. Think how terrifying it would be for a young girl to be sent off to American on her own with only one man to count on for a home, job, friends, and a life. The man is Father Flood, a priest who said ...
  
  











  



  
The Old Man and The Sea
Ernest Hemingway

Scribner, 1995

A Novella of Life
"The Old Man and the Sea" remains a literary staple for students learning about literature -- and American literature in particular. I read this book many years ago and just re-read Ernest Hemingway's best-known work. This novella offers different things, and ...
  
  











  



  
The Sun Also Rises
Ernest Hemingway

Scribner, 2006

Are we still a lost generation?
I have had very little experience with Hemingway prior to picking up this book. For some reason I had it in my head that his writing would be haughty, inaccessible and laborious to read. I was pleasantly surprised that none of my preconceptions were true. The ...
  
  











  



  
Once a Runner: A Novel
John L Parker

Scribner, 2009

Inspiration
By far Once A Runner is the most inspiring book I have ever read! It is based on the true experiences of a champion runner and it has everything you want in a book. It is humorous, educational, and inspiring. You will like the everyday realistic characters. You will be ...
  
  











  



  
Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking
Michael Ruhlman

Scribner, 2009

An extraordinarily useful book
This is a superb work. It is not, strictly speaking, a cookbook in the traditional sense, but a beautifully annotated culinary aide-memoire. The ratios, all by themselves, are not enough (unless you have a good deal of cooking experience behind you). But, if you ...
  
  











  



  
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto
Chuck Klosterman

Scribner, 2004

Crappiest Rollercoaster
When I first received this product, I was excited just to own a book with a crazy title. As I reached page 50 or so, the novelty wore off. At page 75, the book started to be not good. Conclusion: + Good book to have on your coffee table when friends come over, it's ...
