| 2. | [no image] | God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything from Twelve Price: $10.19 Customer Review:  Besides the fact that Hitchens's premise equates his BELIEF in a non-existent "God" with religion -- which is far from the truth (G*d is not religious, what a radical idea!) -- his writing is far too pseudo-intellectually written in faux Old English, circa 1700. Very, very difficult to read. You'll... |

| 5. |  | The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever from Da Capo Press Price: $11.90 Customer Review: Your thirst for answers can only truly be quenched within the Bible. God's inspired, infalliable, and inerrant Word holds answers to scientific questions throughout. Besides creation, the Bible explains truths from the sciences of genetics, isotasy, agriculture, astronomy, paleontology anatomy,... |

| 6. |  | Animal Farm and 1984 from Harcourt Price: $15.60 Customer Review: After having read both 1984 and Animal Farm multiple times, I purchased this hardbound book with both titles. It is a convenient package for somebody like me that likes George Orwell. If you can re-read George Orwell, this book is highly recommended. As others have said before, both of these... |

| 7. |  | Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This novel is provocative. Why? For one, what do you think of genetically enhancing embryos? And technology interfering with human life? The story centers around Bernard Marx, a man who doesn't fit into his strictly controlled world. Although he is regarded as one of the special ones (An Alpha)... |

| 8. |  | Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis from Bloomsbury USA Price: $13.59 Customer Review: In a strange sort of way, Kingsley Amis does for drink what Anthony Bourdain does for food: with enormous humor and joy in life, both authors just say "go for it." It is probably no coincidence that they both loathe vegetarians, especially vegans. I am not particularly sure that Amis is utterly... |

| 9. |  | God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist from Prometheus Books Price: $12.91 Customer Review:  It's all abusrd. We fear death, we're arrogant enough to think that we will survive our own death. All basic religious doctrine is flawed, absurd, ignorant. And this books shows that. Even if GOD existed, how can someone (a priest, a rabine, anyone) affirm that God's talking through him?... |

| 10. |  | From Russia with Love: WITH Dr. No (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $19.32 Customer Review: Ian Fleming's James Bond novels are certainly not the mixed bag that the films are, but some are certainly better than others. From Russia with Love is, along with Casino Royale and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, among the best. From Russia with Love starts off on a different foot than most... |

| 11. |  | Scoop: A Novel About Journalists (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Customer Review:  Overall, I'm conflicted in my feelings for this book. On the main themes - how journalists make stories up to sell papers, how rewards and punishments are completely random with no regards to merit, and how humans are generally horrible and stupid - the book is very funny in Waugh's dryly satirical... |

| 12. |  | Is Christianity Good for the World? from Canon Press Price: $9.41 Customer Review: Is Christianity Good for the World? This is a great book and only takes about 1.5 hours or less to read. It offers a balanced-kind-argument from both sides of atheism. I thought that both Hitchens and Wilson made good points. Wilson has some amazing quotes in this gem! It is a must read if you... |

| 13. |  | Our Man in Havana (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I read several of Graham's books when I was young and thought them great. Now at 55 I am not so sure about Greene (I recently reread the Comedians). Most of his books are OK except for too much heavy emotional attachment stuff. This book is supposed to be funny but is just plain terrible. For... |

| 14. |  | Thomas Jefferson: Author of America (Eminent Lives) from Eminent Lives Price: $14.93 Customer Review: If you need an extremely well-written, concise, sympathetic, balanced and reasonably complete introduction to Thomas Jefferson, Hitchens has produced just the thing. Hitchens does particularly well where Thomas Jefferson's views mesh with his own - namely on religion and the disestablishment... |

| 15. | [no image] | The Adventures of Augie March Price: $25.00 Customer Review: What can I say other than this novel is a true 20th Century American classic. The use of language is incomparable. |

| 16. |  | Letters to a Young Contrarian (Art of Mentoring) from Basic Books Price: $11.86 Customer Review: "I am not a religious believer," Christopher Hitchens writes. "In order to be absolutely honest, I should not leave you with the impression that I am part of the generalized agnosticism of our culture. I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are... |

| 17. |  | The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice from Verso Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Every circus needs a clown. The American cable news have found their clown in Hitchens. Hitchens supports the war against civilians in Irak, destroys Elie Wiesel and now needs to go on a rampage against one of the fews saints of our century. A clown who does not deserve this whole circus. Shame on... |

| 18. |  | Thomas Paine's Rights of Man: A Biography (Books That Changed the World) from Atlantic Monthly Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Thomas Paine began a unique tradition for American writers. His unbalanced lifestyle existed in contrast to a brilliant mind but his abilities were limited to righteous inspirations. As Christopher Hitchens so intricately penned, Paine was a revolutionary in thought and deed but tried to reach... |

Describing and analyzing the journey, the... |

| 20. |  | No One Left To Lie To: The Values of the Worst Family from Verso Price: $9.60 Customer Review: Hitchens is probably my favorite writer. He is pithy, sarcastic, and occasionally venomous. He very quickly dissects the Clintons' duplicity and methodically exposes them for the criminals they are. I think I read the book in a couple of sittings, certainly no more than a weekend. I could barely put... |

| 21. |  | Safe Area Gorazde: The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-1995 from Fantagraphics Books Price: $13.57 Customer Review: An excellent account from the war in Bosnia. Well-written, well-drawn, informative & heart-breaking. Hearing 30 second blurbs on the news about things like this can be easy to ignore (or miss entirely). Reading a book like this & through it getting to know people like yourself & your... |

| 23. |  | Why Orwell Matters from Basic Books Price: $11.65 Customer Review: Christopher Hitchens is something of an Oxford-educated, free-thinking Renaissance Man: author, journalist, literary critic, columnist, polemicist, intellectual, former Trotskyist, and (as of 2007), an American citizen. Although he admires George Orwell, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, James Joyce,... |

| 24. |  | The Trial of Henry Kissinger from Verso Price: $9.60 Customer Review: Superb book. There are a few generalities, lousy index, and no footnotes or bibliography. Otherwise, very good and it seems very accurate. |

| 25. |  | Love, Poverty, and War : Journeys and Essays from Nation Books Price: $12.78 Customer Review: Love, Poverty, War; or, if you will, Literature, Religion, Neo-conservatism , since these are very much the watermark themes that subtext each section of the book. Take the first section. Literature, Hitchens argues, is the gold standard - a supreme value above the mediocrity and poverty of... |

| 29. |  | Christopher Hitchens and His Critics: Terror, Iraq, and the Left from NYU Press Price: $15.61 Customer Review: This is the best summary of changing Left positions I have seen in recent years. It is must reading for anyone interested, not only in the Left, but also in how the USA and the world intellectuals have become so polarized. The writing (both Hitchens and his critics) is mostly excellent and at times... |

In Great Britain the novel is entitled "Stamboul Train". The novel is short but has a murder and interesting characters to keep your attention. The characters are well sketched and the novel... |
