Staff Favorites

Here are some books picked out by our staff as exceptional reads:

Alan Furst's atmospheric novels of Europe from 1938 - 1945 are fantastic reads. Likened to the first time you see Casablanca, he really puts you right in the middle of the intrigue. There are five titles, any are well worth your time.

Kingdom of Shadows pb $11.95

The Polish Officer pb $11.95

The World at Night pb $11.95

Red Gold pb $11.95

Blood of Victory HC $24.95

Empire Falls

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this great novel is set in a Maine mill town and follows the lives of several generations of Empire Falls. HBO has just finished filming a movie of this one, and one scene was filmed in a certain Maine bookstore! Watch for us in early '05 when it's released.
