1.Animal Farm: Centennial EditionAnimal Farm: Centennial Edition
from Plume
Price: $7.39

Customer Review:
Orwell shows the incrimental rise of tyrrany among barnyard animals. That's really what is at the heart of this book: the slow methodical creep of ever more constrictive, exploitive, and oppressive laws which transform a free society to a totalitarian dictatorship. Each step is slowly introduced,... more info

2.Bel Canto: A NovelBel Canto: A Novel
from HarperCollins
Price: $13.69

Customer Review:
This is the Ann Patchett novel I recommend above all when recommending her novels in general (which I do fairly often). It has a purity that some may find unreal but to me simply comes down to maintaining the dream. The theme here - as in Willa Cather's "Troll Garden" - is the power of art. She... more info

Customer Review:
THIS BOOK WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A 96 YEAR OLD LADY TO READ. SHE LOVED IT. I HAD JUST FINISHED THE, BOOK THIEF, AND HAD BEEN TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER TIME OF COURAGE AND BRAVERY DURING WW11 IN GERMANY. THIS BOOK, RUN, WAS NOT IN THE SAME CLASS. I FELT THAT I HAD READ SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IN THE BOOK THIEF.... more info

4.Truth and Beauty : A FriendshipTruth & Beauty : A Friendship
Price: $4.79

Customer Review:
"Truth is Beauty and Beauty is truth and that's all ye need to know." I am assuming that this poignant memoir by Ann Patchett makes its title from an allusion to Keat's poem. It is a good read and I really enjoyed it. Some may find it a bit raw, a bit too much information and a bit hard to believe... more info

What now?
Review by Richard L. Weaver II, PhD.
Ann Patchett's book, What now?, is based on her commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College. There are several strengths that make me recommend this book without reservation. First, Patchett is a wonderful writer. Her use of language is... more info

6.The Magician s AssistantThe Magician's Assistant
from Mariner Books
Price: $1.85

Customer Review:
This is the third of Pratchett's books which I've read. The first two were Bel Canto and Run. Anyone who has ever re-invented themselves will want to read this book. At first I found it hard to imagine a woman as self-effacing as the main character, but as the story unfolded she came alive. What I... more info

7.PATRON SAINT OF LIARSPATRON SAINT OF LIARS
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $108.73

Customer Review:
This is my first reading of Ann Patchett, her first novel. She was born on my sixth birthday! The central figure of the story is Rose Clinton, who, basically, has trouble with relationships. One might say she has a dissociation disease. She leaves her husband, Thomas, and drives... more info

8.The Best American Short Stories 2006 (The Best American Series)The Best American Short Stories 2006 (The Best American Series)
from Mariner Books
Price: $0.39

Customer Review:
Shocking, because the intros by Ann Patchett and Katrina Kenison were amazing. Patchett's, a fresh and striking essay on the beauty of the short story form, could be published nearly on its own. So I was quite jazzed to get into these stories that made Ms. Patchett so giddy with excitement. And... more info

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $6.68

Customer Review:
Several months ago I read Ann Patchett's Patron Saint of Liars and, while somewhat interesting, it wasn't what I had expected and I felt disappointed once I had finished it. It wasn't until now that I felt comfortable picking up another of her books and, overall, I'm glad I waited this long.more info

10.[no image]TAFT CL
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $7.75

Customer Review:
My edition of TAFT includes a note from Patchett in the back about "the curse" of second novels. (I love reading these little anecdotes, by the way, just as I loved her note about being on set at the movie in PATRON SAINT.) I like that she is loyal to this book, but I admit I think TAFT was "cursed"... more info
