1.		Nothing to Be Frightened Of (Vintage) from Vintage Price: $8.14 Customer Review: This book was written as a well organized series of anecdotes. In kind, here are some anecdotes, if not so well organized: Reading this book might seem like a dreary exercise. It was, sort of. But it was also funny and contained LOTS of interesting historical anecdotes about how various famous... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Arthur & George from Random House Canada Price: $57.06 Customer Review: `Arthur and George' is a Victorian crime mystery, and a page-turner that continually feeds information and hints. It is interactive, just like watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie: you are given clues so you can experience and think along with the characters. I was very impressed with how carefully it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Lemon Table from Vintage Price: $7.59 Customer Review: One of the things I most enjoy about Julian Barnes is his variety. Each of his books questions the conventional idea of a novel, and each does so in a different way. So I open this collection of eleven short stories expecting an intriguing range of subject and technique, united by a humanity that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters from Vintage Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Imagine how Noah would have felt if after spending years building his ark in anticipation of the great rain that was to come, but instead got only two hours of a good soaking. I imagine he had kind of a disappointed "meh" feeling. That's how I felt after reading Barnes' A History of the World in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Flaubert's Parrot from Vintage Price: $4.25 Customer Review: Flaubert's Parrot is a novel, but I will concern myself with its nonfictional aspects, for I'm afraid that this book has had greater popular appeal than any full-length biography of Flaubert. And for those who may take Barnes' book as a primary source for understanding the life of Flaubert, I give a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Best of Frank O'Connor (Everyman's Library) from Everyman's Library Price: $15.93 Customer Review: Frank O'Connor, a master of the short-story form, wrote muscular prose about war, his childhood, and Ireland. In this new collection of his work, Julian Barnes, who collected and edited the selections included in this Everyman's Library edition, lets the stories speak for themselves. He groups the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		England, England from Vintage Price: $6.75 Customer Review: Is it a cynical exercise in how a country can lose it's own identity, or a love letter to a culture that's left imperialist trappings behind? Or more of a wicked satire of the theme park mentality that infects museums and park? Either way, it's a fun novel with enjoyable characters. Not the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.	[no image]	Metroland from Jonathan Cape Ltd Customer Review: This was the first of Julian Barnes's novels, but I came to it after reading a selection of his later essays in 'Letters from London' and the 'Pedant in the Kitchen' as well as his intellectual postmodern history novel 'A History of the World in Ten Chapters'. The sharpness, wit and originality... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Pedant in the Kitchen from Atlantic Books Price: $5.62 Customer Review: This is a delightful hands-on demystification of how to cook well by cooking simply. It's especially worthwhile for recipe slaves like me who fear departing from what's on the printed page. Barnes strikes a blow for freedom, for simplicity, and for adventure in the kitchen. I've given the book to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Before She Met Me (Picador Books) from Pan Books Ltd Price: $15.75 Customer Review: Julian Barnes must be one of the most various of English novelists writing today. FLAUBERT'S PARROT is virtually a piece of literary history in novel form. A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 10½ CHAPTERS is just that, a very peculiar history starting with Eden and moving on from there. ARTHUR AND... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
