The Martian by Andy Weir...

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

Robinson Crusoe on Mars A survival story for the 21st century and the international bestseller behind the major film from Ridley Scott starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain. I’m stranded on Mars. I have no way to communicate with Earth. I’m in a Habitat designed to last 31 days. If the Oxygenator breaks down, I’ll suffocate. If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I’ll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I’ll just kind of explode.

If none of those things happen, I’ll eventually run out of food and starve to death. So yeah. I’m screwed.

Wolf Hall (Thomas Cromwell Trilogy #1) by Hilary Mantel. . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

England in the 1520's is a heartbeat from disaster.

If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war.

Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn.

The pope and most of Europe opposes him.

Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

I, Claudius by Robert Graves

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54. Set in the first century A.D. in Rome and written as an autobiographical memoir, this colorful story of the life of the Roman emperor Claudius stands as one of the modern classics of historical fiction. Physically weak and afflicted with stuttering, Claudius is initially despised and dismissed as an idiot. Shunted to the background of imperial affairs by his embarrassed royal family, he becomes a scholar and historian, while Palace intrigues and murders surround him.

Observing these dramas from beyond the public eye, Claudius escapes the cruelties inflicted on the rest of the royal family by its own members and survives to become emperor of Rome in A.D. 41.

Another Country by James Baldwin. .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

Set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, among other locales, Another Country is a novel of passions, sexual, racial, political, artistic - that is stunning for its emotional intensity and haunting sensuality, depicting men and women, blacks and whites, stripped of their masks of gender and race by love and hatred at the most elemental and sublime.

In a small set of friends, Baldwin imbues the best and worst intentions of liberal America in the early 1970's.

Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. . . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

Cold Mountain is a novel about a soldier’s perilous journey back to his beloved near the Civil War's end.

At once a love story & a harrowing account of one man’s long walk home, Cold Mountain introduces a new talent in American literature. Based on local history & family stories passed down by Frazier’s great-great-grandfather, Cold Mountain is the tale of a wounded Confederate soldier, Inman, who walks away from the ravages of the war & back home to his prewar sweetheart, Ada.

His odyssey thru the devastated landscape of the soon-to-be-defeated South interweaves with Ada’s struggle to revive her father’s farm, with the help of an intrepid young drifter named Ruby.

As their long-separated lives begin to converge at the close of the war, Inman & Ada confront the vastly transformed world they’ve been delivered. Frazier reveals insight into human relations with the land & the dangers of solitude.

He also shares with the great 19th century novelists a keen observation of a society undergoing change.

Cold Mountain recreates a world gone by that speaks to our time.

Everybody Dies by Lawrence Block. .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

Matt Scudder is finally leading a comfortable life.

The crime rate is down and the stock market's up. Gentrification's prettying-up the old neighborhood.

The New York streets don't look so mean anymore. Then all hell breaks loose. Scudder quickly discovers the spruced-up sidewalks are as mean as ever, dark and gritty and stained with blood.

He's living in a world where the past is a minefield, the present is a war zone, and the future's an open question. It's a world where nothing is certain and nobody's safe, a random universe where no one's survival can be taken for granted.

Not even his own. A world where everybody dies.

Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie. .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

This is the story of Maximilian Ophuls, America’s counterterrorism chief, one of the makers of the modern world; his Kashmiri Muslim driver and subsequent killer, a mysterious figure who calls himself Shalimar the clown; Max’s illegitimate daughter India; and a woman who links them, whose revelation finally explains them all.

It is an epic narrative that moves from California to Kashmir, France, and England, and back to California again.

Along the way there are tales of princesses lured from their homes by demons, legends of kings forced to defend their kingdoms against evil.

And there is always love, gained and lost, uncommonly beautiful and mortally dangerous.

Candide by Voltaire. . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds."

On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan.

Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that - contrary to the teachings of his distinguished tutor Dr. Pangloss - all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, Candide has become Voltaire's most celebrated work.

Mr. Dalloway: A Novella by Robin Lippincott ..

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange..

A virtuoso performance of postmodern daring, Mr. Dalloway offers a rich augmentation of Virginia Woolf's classic novel.

It is June 29, 1927 - Richard and Clarissa Dalloway's thirtieth anniversary and also a day of historical significance.

Richard has arranged a surprise party for his wife - as he leaves their house in Westminster to buy flowers for the party, his thoughts turn to Robert Davies (Robbie), a young editor at Faber with whom he has been having an affair off and on for many years.

Because of Richard's efforts to contain their relationship, Robbie has exposed their affair in a letter to Clarissa, who tells her husband that she "understands" and today Richard, despite his misgivings, finds himself on his way to Robbie's house-only to be shaken by the discovery that Robbie is not there. As does the Woolf novel, Mr. Dalloway takes place within a single day, unfolding prismatically with a simultaneity of events: Clarissa walks in London and remembers her courtship with Richard; their daughter Elizabeth searches for answers about her eccentric history tutor's somewhat mysterious and premature death; and a determined and drunken Robert Davies has decided to crash Richard's party, dressed all in white satin, no less!

As the novella moves toward its surprising climax, it revisits several of Woolf's celebrated characters-Sally Seton (now Lady Rosseter), Hugh Whitbread, Lady Bruton-while introducing new ones, such as the Sapphist couple Katherine Truelock and Eleanor Gibson, and the strange and beautiful Sasha Richardson. Imaginative and formally bold as it refracts Woolf's fiction to invent a story completely Lippincott's own, Mr. Dalloway rides forward on waves of a masterfully complex and musical prose, full of wit, linguistic verve, and startling imagery. Robin Lippincott is the author of The Real, True Angel, a collection of short stories published in 1996 by Fleur-de-Lis Press.

His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The American Voice, The Literary Review, Provincetown Arts, and many other magazines; he was awarded fellowships to Yaddo in 1997 and 1998.

Born and raised in the South, he has lived in Boston for twenty years.

Flashman and the Redskins by George MacDonald Fraser. . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse. .

Celebrated Victorian bounder, cad, and lecher, Sir Harry Flashman, V.C., returns to play his (reluctant) part in the Battle of Little Bighorn in the seventh volume of the critically acclaimed Flashman Papers.

What was Harry Flashman doing on the slopes of Little Bighorn, caught between the gallant remnant of Custer's 7th Cavalry and the attack of Sitting Bull's braves?

He was trying to get out of the line of fire and escape yet again with his life (if not his honour) intact.

Here is the legendary and authentic West of Mangas Colorado's Apaches, of Kit Carson, Custer and Spotted Tail, of Crazy Horse and the Deadwood stage, gunfighters and gamblers, scoundrels and Indian belles, enthusiastic widows and mysterious adventuresses.

The West as it really was: terrifying!

Lord Hornblower by C.S. Forester

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse.

Weary of the war that he has waged nearly his entire life, Hornblower finds himself assigned an especially dangerous and dubious new task: to rescue a man he knows to be a tyrant from the mutiny of his crew in the Bay of the Seine.

This risky adventure, coinciding with reports that the tide of war may be turning-as Wellington has swept over the Pyrenees and the Russians have reached the Rhine-propels Hornblower toward the heart of the French Empire, toward a fateful reunion with old friends, and toward the harrowing but glorious conclusion of his own battle with Napoleon.

Anglo-Saxon Attitudes by Angus Wilson

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse.

Gerald Middleton is a sixty-year-old self-proclaimed failure. Worse than that, he’s "a failure with a conscience."

As a young man, he was involved in an archaeological dig that turned up an obscene idol in the coffin of a seventh-century bishop and scandalized a generation.

The discovery was in fact the most outrageous archaeological hoax of the century, and Gerald has long known who was responsible and why.

But to reveal the truth is to risk destroying the world of cozy compromises that, personally as well as professionally, he has long made his own. One of England's first openly gay novelists, Angus Wilson was a dirty realist who relished the sleaze and scuffle of daily life.

Smashingly satirical, virtuosically plotted, and displaying Dickensian humor and nerve, Anglo-Saxon Attitudes features a vivid cast of characters that includes scheming academics and fading actresses, big businessmen toggling between mistresses and wives, media celebrities, hustlers, transvestites, blackmailers, toadies, and even one holy fool.

Everyone, it seems, is either in cahoots or in the dark, even as comically intrepid Gerald Middleton struggles to maintain some dignity while digging up a history of lies.

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett. . . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse. .

It is 1911.

The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners.

Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London.

Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution.

In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, "Fall Of Giants" moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a Palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.

This is an epic of love, hatred, war and revolution.

This is a huge novel that follows five families through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for votes for women.

Bye Bye Tiluk - A Love Story Made in Thailand - by Rolf Bahl. . .

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse. .

The author writes about his rather strange love relationship with a young lady from the Isaan province.

Despite the great difference in age, culture and religion, the two found quite few common interests and therefore sympathy was turning into real love.

However, after two harmonious years, all of a sudden, the nice friendship was cut off and a very long time of silence took place. Missing his unique girlfriend, the author started searching in the far away Northeastern part of Thailand.

But instead of meeting the wanted lady, he just met another former acquaintance with new problems!

The Fox by Frederick Forsyth. . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse. .

Most weapons do what you tell them.

Most weapons you can control. But what if the most dangerous weapon in the world isn’t a smart missile or a stealth submarine or even an AI computer programme?What if it’s a 17-year-old boy with a blisteringly brilliant mind, who can run rings around the most sophisticated security services across the globe, who can manipulate that weaponry and turn it against the superpowers themselves?

How valuable would he be? And what wouldn’t you do to get hold of him? The Fox is a race-against-time thriller across continents to find and capture, or protect and save, an asset with the means to change the balance of world power.

Whatever happens he must not fall into the wrong hands. Because what follows after that is unthinkable…

The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight by Jimmy Breslin . . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse. .

It was a big bestseller when it was originally published in 1969. It became a major motion picture that provided Robert De Niro with his first film role. Its title has entered into the language as a catchphrase.

And it's terrific fun! The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight is the story of Papa Baccala, a Brooklyn Mafia boss, and Kid Sally Palumbo, a would-be capo who "couldn't run a gas station at a profit even if he stole the customers' cars".

There's also Kid Sally's grandmother, who will go to extravagant lengths to see her boy make his mark.

A love interest? Sure.

Kid Sally's sister tumbles for an artistic type who rides a bicycle and has recently arrived from Calabria... The high adventure begins with a six-day bike race that is only partly responsible for a rash of obituary notices reading: "Died. Suddenly".

Eventually it all gets worked out in fine Sicilian fashion - and, in the end, everybody gets his, in a manner of speaking.

The Truth of the Matter by Gough Whitlam

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse. .

On Remembrance Day, 1975, the Governor-General of Australia, Sir John Kerr, sacked the Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam.

The Dismissal was the culmination of almost three years of political conflict, as Whitlam's reforming Labor government rammed home overdue legislative reforms in the face of implacable, and increasingly bitter, conservative opposition.

The focus of the Opposition's scheming was the Senate, where its leaders blocked supply in order to force a political crisis.

Whitlam, famous for his 'crash through or crash' style, refused to compromise with his political enemies. Passionate, pithy, learned, witty, and vigorously combative, "The Truth of the Matter" tells the extraordinary political story of the only Prime Minister of Australia ever deposed from office.
