Legend of a Suicide: Stories (Paperback)
$12.59
ISBN-13: 9780061875847Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Harper Perennial, 03/01/2010
David Vann explores father/son relationships with a focus on his own father's suicide in this collection of stories, which are not quite memoir and not wholly fiction. The result is contradictory, visceral, emotional and a little ugly -- much like the act itself. One of the best books I have read this year. "A father is a lot for a thing to be."
The Man in the High Castle (Paperback)
$12.56
ISBN-13: 9780679740674Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Vintage, 06/01/1992
An alternate history of America in 1962 with US occupation divided between Nazi Germany and post-WWII Japan. Also: there are alternate universes. Any attempt to describe this book without reading it won't do it justice, especially not when you learn that Philip K. Dick actually used the I-Ching (and probably amphetamines) to determine his plot.
How to Say Goodbye in Robot (Hardcover)
$16.19
ISBN-13: 9780545107082Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Scholastic Press, 10/01/2009
High school is a time of insecurity for most people, but thankfully a lot of this book is about acceptance: accepting that boys and girls can be just friends, accepting that true love is not always romantic, accepting that you don't always have to find lost things. A quirky, original throwback of a book that brings to mind the world of John Waters' "Hairspray." I loved it.

Listen, whatever it is you try
to do with your life, nothing will ever dazzle you
like the dreams of your body,
its spirit
longing to fly while the dead-weight bones
toss their dark mane and hurry
back into the fields of glittering fire
where everything,
even the great whale,
throbs with song.

Jane Eyre (Paperback)

Published: Vintage, 04/01/2009
What else is there to say about Jane Eyre? If you like headstrong heroines, tormented heroes, or romance with complications, then this is the book for you.
Sputnik Sweetheart (Paperback)
$12.60
ISBN-13: 9780375726057Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Vintage, 04/01/2002
Less bizarre and more sentimental than some of his other books. It's also a little bit slighter, but nevertheless, one of my favorite Murakami novels.
