| 2. |  | Gone With The Wind: 60th Anniversary Edition from Scribner Customer Review:  I, TOO, am a literary snob. But I have to say, I had to go back again and read this much-loved book of my younger years -- well, only 5 years ago. But I relayed this heart-felt literary love of mine to my other great hardcover friends, Tawney and Marie (one, a long-time member of the illustrious... |

WOW!!! I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to know what would happen next. Why is Russia so prominent in Alaska? Where did the eskimos come from? All these questions are answered plus you get... |

| 8. |  | The Covenant from Fawcett Price: $8.99 Customer Review: I visited South Africa and that beautiful country entered in my heart. A friend advised me about the Michener's novel, the covenant, which i searched traslated in my native language, italian, but very hard to find. Despite the book is quite huge, more than 1,000 pages, reading it is... |

| 9. |  | Poland from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  It was with much anticipation that I picked up this copy of Poland by Michener. I have enjoyed many of his books in the past, though they can at times become slow and plodding as he traces the development of a people or land from the primordial soup of creation. Poland does not suffer from this... |

| 10. |  | Iberia from Fawcett Crest Books by Ballantine Books Price: $8.99 Customer Review: IBERIA is non-fiction memoir of Michener's experiences in Spain. I read the book before I went to Spain and found that Michener was right. He said Spain haunts people who go there. I've been all over the world and Spain is the only place that haunts me in a delicious way. Spain likely was the... |

| 11. |  | Texas: A Novel from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Although I haven't read Michener's classic, "Hawaii", "Texas" is my unquestioned favorite of Michener's works. Yes, it's formulaic but it's a formula that works. Some of it is so accurate it hurts. The part where the two friends go together on a hunting ranch and wind up enemies is way, way too... |

| 12. |  | Caravans: A Novel of Afghanistan from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.17 Customer Review: A friend of mine, whose husband was head of UNESCO's Book Development Agency in Kabul, gave me Caravans a long time ago. They had thrown up their hands in frustration at the utter futility of bringing humanist values to the Afghan culture, such as it is. Indeed, the idea of an Afghan nation, much... |

| 13. |  | Caribbean: A Novel from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  Before reading this book, I read Michener's Hawaii. Because Hawaii was an absolute masterpiece and my favorite novel ever, I was really excited to read Caribbean and had huge expectations. So imagine my surprise when I found the book really boring! I could hardly read it and just skimmed through... |

| 14. |  | Mexico from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I like Mitchener. I love Mexico and I love bullfighting. I've even written novels on the Conquest of Mexico...so why didn't I like this book? I don't even know but it didn't hold my attention and his rivalry between the "classic" matador and the bullfighting hotdog was laughable. To be certain,... |

| 15. |  | Drifters from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review: what a bore! yawn! no adventures or cool stories, just a bunch of hippies cruizing around with too much time on their hand. use this book for philosphy 101! |

| 16. |  | The Dangerous Summer from Scribner Book Company Customer Review: For fans of Ernest Hemingway's 1932 classic account of the art of the bullfight, "Death In The Afternoon", the posthumously published (in 1985) "A Dangerous Summer" would seem a must-read. And they will enjoy it, as will fans of Hemingway and Spain. But passion this time is something readers must... |

| 17. | [no image] | The Lost Eden (Noli me Tangere) from Indiana University Press Customer Review: Unfortunately growing up in the American South, I was never informed of this man or the revolution he started. In world history the Philipines were never even mentioned until we began studying WWII. It wasn't until after I joined the Navy and began talking with some of my shipmates that I became... |

| 18. |  | Sayonara from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review: In a supposed small world intent on globalization, reading a novel like James A. Michener's, "Sayonara", although set in 1950s Japan, suggests that in spite of each human's desire for the basic necessities of life, racial and cultural differences may forever divide and... |

| 19. |  | Bridge at Andau from Fawcett Price: $6.99 Customer Review: THIS is the kind of book that s/b required to be read by students across the free world. Communism laid bare. Communism was incredibly destructive, cruel and murderous to its subjects. The government that was supposed to be powerful enough to give you everything you needed was certainly... |

| 20. |  | Space from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I had a copy of this book from when it was originally published, but because of some recent interest in the history of the Apollo program, I wanted to re-read this wonderful yarn. While it does not reflect the actual history of the development of the space program within the United States, it does... |

| 23. |  | The Bridges at Toko-Ri from Fawcett Price: $6.99 Customer Review: This book is a definite page-turner and can easily be finished in one sitting. That being said, it is a fine reflection of emotional conflict that comes with being in a war. More than that, it is a book about loyalty and friendship that I think any young boy can benefit from reading. A classic. |

| 24. |  | The Child Who Never Grew from Woodbine House Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This old book was first published in 1950 by Pearl Buck (1892-1973), a 1938 Nobel laureate, but originally drafted by her in the much earlier days. Her first daughter Carol was born as a LD child in 1920, due to a delivery accident in a remote village of China. The cause is now known as PKU, a... |

| 25. |  | Rascals in Paradise from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Michener's compilation of short stories arrayed around the dreamer in all of us who lust over south seas lore, whether we have lived there or perhaps never even visited. These are stories rich in visual majesty, and the human ambition, drive, and misadventure, which the lucky few of us have actually... |

| 26. |  | The World Is My Home: A Memoir from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $12.44 Customer Review: From a beginning that was awful Michener very matter of factly found his way to what he calls 'luck'. I loved his tale of epiphany at forty, and beginning his writing career in an empty warehouse with another soldier providing encouragement. He imparts a great deal of good advice for the aspiring... |

A raging snow storm is making his trip more like an artic wilderness trek than a usually pleasant stroll along Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Dr. Zorn is anxious to get the job, to leave... |

| 29. | [no image] | Return to paradise (A Bantam giant) from Bantam Books Customer Review: In this "sequel" to the more highly regarded TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC, author Michener adopts a somewhat different format. For each of the South Pacific islands included, he first writes an essay about its history and culture. He follows the essay with fiction, an original story set on that... |

| 30. |  | The Novel from Fawcett Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I expected more from this book, having recently enjoyed Michener's Caravans. But the story was more about the relationship between four interconnected persons in the world of novels than the process of writing, editing and publication of novels (which is what I expected). The four characters are: a... |
