City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

 

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange *-* Guesthouse - Cafe * #Pattaya..

 

When fifteen year old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder, much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with wierd tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.

Then the body disappears into thin air.

It's difficult to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing, not even a smear of blood, to show that a boy has died.

Or was he a boy?

Pablo Escobar, My Father by Juan Pablo Escobar.

 

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe * Pattaya..

 

Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug Lord the World has ever known, but these versions have always been told by outsiders, never from the intimacy of his own home.

 

More than twenty years after the full fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father, a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family.

 

This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.

Introducing Dexter Morgan, a serial killer to fall in love with.

 

Dexter Morgan isn't exactly the kind of man you'd bring home to your mum.

At heart, he's the perfect gentleman, he has a shy girlfriend, and seems to lead a normal quiet life; bordering on the mundane.

Despite the fact that he cannot stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami police.

 

But Dexter also has a secret hobby, he is an accomplished macabre serial killer.

So far, he has killed 36 people and has never been caught because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence, well its part of his vocation after all.

And while that may lead some people to assume he's not a nice guy, he tempers his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad guys.

Memoirs of an Aesthete by Harold Acton

 

In the Classics section at @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange * Guesthouse * Cafe ** Pattaya.

Between the two, he was one of the brilliant generation up at Oxford just after the war and afterwards moved to Paris where he knew many of the literary and artistic figures of the time.

It is an outstanding memoir, regarded by many as a classic.

Something Happened by Joseph Heller

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange * Guesthouse * Cafe ** Pattaya.

 

Bob Slocum was living the American dream.

He had a beautiful wife, three lovely children, a nice house, and all the mistresses he desired.

He had it all, all that is, but happiness.

Slocum was discontent, inevitably, inexorably, his discontent deteriorated into desolation until something happened.

Something Happened is Joseph Heller's wonderfully inventive and controversial second novel satirizing business life and American culture.

The story is told as if the reader was overhearing the patter of Bob Slocum's brain, recording what is going on at the office, as well as his fantasies and memories that complete the story of his life.

The result is a novel as original and memorable as his Catch-22.

No Mean City by A McArthur & H Kingsley-Long.

 

In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange *-* Guesthouse * Cafe *-* Pattaya.

 

Never a book has been more associated with the city of Glasgow than No Mean City.

First published in 1935, it is the story of Johnnie Stark, son of a violent father and a downtrodden mother, the 'Razor King' of Glasgow's pre-war slum underworld, the Gorbals.

The savage, accurate real descriptions, the raw character portrayals, bring to life a story that is fascinating, authentic and convincing.

Paganism in the Roman Empire by Ramsay MacMullen.

 

In the Various - History section @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop * Book exchange * Guesthouse * Cafe ** #Pattaya.

 

MacMullen - has published several books in recent years which establish him, rightfully, as a leading social historian of the Roman Empire.

This current volume exhibits many of the characteristics of its predecessors, the presentation of novel, revisionist points of view, discrete set pieces of trenchant argument which do not necessarily conform to the boundaries of traditional history and an impressive, authoritative, and up to date documentation, especially rich in primary sources.

A stimulating and provocative discourse on Roman paganism as a phenomenon worthy of synthetic investigation in its own right and as the fundamental context for the rise of Christianity.
