Those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.From the Stone Age to the information age, the undead have threatened to engulf the human race. They’ re coming. They’re hungry.Don’t wait for them to come to you! This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake . . . every civilization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories–complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead. Organize before they rise!Scripted by the world’s leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, Recorded Attacks reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with–and survived– the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time.

An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own—a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry.Of Mice and Men also represents an experiment in form, as Steinbeck described his work, "a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands." A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. Steinbeck's tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America's most widely read and beloved novels.--front flap

The Artist’s Way is the seminal book on the subject of creativity. An international bestseller, millions of readers have found it to be an invaluable guide to living the artist’s life. Still as vital today—or perhaps even more so—than it was when it was first published one decade ago, it is a powerfully provocative and inspiring work. In a new introduction to the book, Julia Cameron reflects upon the impact of The Artist’s Way and describes the work she has done during the last decade and the new insights into the creative process that she has gained. Updated and expanded, this anniversary edition reframes The Artist’s Way for a new century.

Kill their English teacher? Even if Mr. Griffin was the toughest teacher in the school, the one who demanded the most, gave the lowest grades, and refused to turn the classroom into a place where students had 'fun'--- there was no reason to kill him. Or was there?Well, Mark suggested, perhaps not kill him--- just really frighten him. Kidnap him for a few hours and teach him that students could strike back.No, they never actually intended to kill Mr. Griffin. But sometimes even the best-laid plans go wrong.

For what it is, it’s enjoyable... don’t know why I’ve kept it on my shelf since childhood though.

'Venus in Furs' describes the obsessions of Severin von Kusiemski, a European nobleman who desires to be enslaved to a woman. Severin finds his ideal of voluptuous cruelty in the merciless Wanda von Dunajew. This is a passionate and powerful portrayal of one man's struggle to enlighten and instruct himself and others in the realm of desire. Published in 1870, the novel gained notoriety and a degree of immortality for its author when the word "masochism" - derived from his name - entered the vocabulary of psychiatry. This remains a classic literary statement on sexual submission and control.

This extraordinary historical novel, set in Medieval Paris under the twin towers of its greatest structure and supreme symbol, the cathedral of Notre-Dame, is the haunting drama of Quasimodo, the hunchback; Esmeralda, the gypsy dancer; and Claude Frollo, the priest tortured by the specter of his own damnation. Shaped by a profound sense of tragic irony, it is a work that gives full play to Victor Hugo's brilliant historical imagination and his remarkable powers of description.

Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and he works on Wall Street, he is handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. Taking us to head-on collision with America's greatest dream—and its worst nightmare—American Psycho is bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognise but do not wish to confront.

Fighter - Thre True Story of the Battle of BritainRecommended. As its title obviously implies, this book is about the Battle of Britain. It is a general overview of the battle as seen from both side of the Channel and makes for an interesting introductory reading. Those who have a thorough knowledge of the battle will find it brings an interesting perspective and a good read, but not much "new" informations per see.The book is made of five parts:1- Strategy2- Air Chief Sir Hugh Dowding, Commander in Chief Fighter Command3- Weapons: The Metal Monoplane and Radar4- Tactics5- The resultsIt aslo includes a short selected bibliography.The author is a good writer, and the pace of the story keeps you into it all along. The book goes into the most important elements of the battle, from RAF and Luftwaffe high command problems, intents and ambitions, its technical side, to the way it's been fought, up to its results. As with most books on the BoB, the misfortune of Dowding is ever-present, and one can safely assume Deighton is rather sanguine about this (and so Leigh-Mallory and Bader each get 'sort of' a beating).It does have a few shortcomings though. The most important is the lack of footnotes/endnotes. It's not possible to know where Deighton got his information, and as such, it cannot be considered a "true" histroical work. This is especially true when Deighton write about the role of Ultra intercepts during the battle, refering to "Nonsenses" that have been written about this, without saying just what he refers to (My guess is Anthony Cave Brown's "Bodyguard of Lies"). Deighton, for example, refering to the infamous Coventry bombing during the night of the 14-15 November, dismiss the idea that Churchill was aware - through Ultra - of its impending occurence, explaining the horrific efficiency of the raid through a failed british attempt to jam the X-Gerät guiding device that actually helped the German formations instead of confusing them. That may well be the case, but good historian practice requires one to actually offer arguments to counter previous thesis. Sneering hardly cuts it.This also leads to the second irritating aspect of the book: Deighton write as if he was the first to do so, without mentionning previous work on the matter. This would have help put his own book in perspective, but as stated above, the book, being aimed at a large audience, is really more a vulgarisation.All in all, I definitely recommend this book as a quick, interesting read on the Battle of Britain.Jean-Vincent Roy

Orel Puppington is an optimistic, well-intentioned, and devoutly religious 11-year-old whose Christian devotion, enthusiastic church attendance, and general naiveté leads him to grossly misinterpret Bible lessons, often with morbid and ghastly consequences. In doing so, he unintentionally exposes the hypocrisy and duplicity of his family (particularly his father Clay), the members of his community, and ultimately, organized religion itself. Set in the fictional American state of Statesoda, which is located in the middle of the lower 48 states, "Moral Orel" has a stop-motion animation style similar to "Davey & Goliath", and appears to parody the religious undertones of the latter show. However, creator Dino Stamatopoulos intended for the show to be more of a parody of whole 1950's sitcoms such as "Leave It To Beaver" and "Father Knows Best".
