1.		Gilead from FSG Price: $55.99 Customer Review: After I came across a recommendation for Gilead by John Piper a week or so ago, I downloaded Gilead to my Kindle. Started it yesterday, can hardly put it down. No nail-biting suspense...no big mystery to solve...no gory murders... just an excruciatingly beautiful story that I'm thrilled to not have... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Home: A Novel from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $4.95 Customer Review: I loved this book after having read "Gilead", Robinson's first book. It is a little slow moving, as is the first, but the style grows on you and becomes absolutely intriguing.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.	[no image]	HOUSEKEEPING from BANTAM Customer Review: I listened to this book a year or so ago, and didn't remember the title so got it from the library again by mistake; a mistake I certainly do not regret. I liked it even more the second time around. I love the writing; many reviewers have commented on the author's lyrical style, and have done so... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Awakening from Bantam Classics Price: $0.95 Customer Review: This novel reminded me of Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, but it was a much easier and shorter book to read. It is a good choice if you are looking to read some 'true' classics but do not want something difficult. Chopin is not a 'wordy' writer who goes into great detail. She gives her impressions and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought from Mariner Books Price: $48.77 Customer Review: There is a measure of success for a single author collection of essays that is subtly different from simply averaging the overall quality of its compositions; an aspect over and above the intent behind the writing that pushes it beyond mere academic effort. It is difficult to define this quality -... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		John Calvin: Steward of God's Covenant: Selected Writings from Vintage Price: $10.75 Customer Review: I--Marilynne Robinson--wrote the introduction to this collection. So I wish to assure readers that the account offered above of the author, John Calvin, as promoting a "theocratic state," is not accurate. Indeed, both of the doctrines for which he is said here to be famous are in fact cliches about... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.	[no image]	Gilead from Picador Price: $17.21 Customer Review: My order arrived on time (perhaps slightly slower than desired), and in exactly the condition described.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Mother Country from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $16.32 Customer Review: The book Mother Country is made up of two parts. The first is a history of the British welfare system. The second is about nuclear fuel reprocessing and plutonium production at Sellafield (Windscale). Both are interesting, but the author has made too little effort to address the relationship between... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
