| 1. |  | Anna Karenina (Oprah's Book Club) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.88 Customer Review:  I do think the story line is good. However it is way too wordy. The words were beautifully written but I tired of them & it was boring because of it. I am a quick reader but I had a hard time pushing thru it. |

| 2. |  | The Brothers Karamazov from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $12.24 Customer Review:  Anyone interested in the central question facing mankind will find `The Brothers Karamazov' an essential guide. That question--on man's capacity for responsibility and the proper role of the state and religion--is posed throughout the story in dialogue and events, and is framed neatly in a 20-page... |

| 3. |  | The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century from Picador Price: $12.24 Customer Review:  I'm learning a lot about 20th-century music from The Rest is Noise, but it's a tough read. The book is clearly well researched, however, in an effort to cite sources, the author disrupts the narrative flow. Consider the following sentence: "Strauss sketched a choral work based on Goethe's text,... |

| 4. |  | Crime and Punishment from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: When I first opened this book I was afraid, afraid because of how big a classic it is, because I'd never read Dostoevsky before and because there was the faint possibility of me not liking it. All my trepidation was unjustified, on this wonderfully conceived masterpiece, Dostoevsky shows how... |

| 5. |  | The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories from Pantheon Price: $29.70 Customer Review: Greek history is a big gap in my education. When I read a review of the "Landmark Herodotus" that talked about all the maps and annotations it contained, I thought this would be a good way to get up to speed. I had some basic questions starting out; how were the Persian wars different from the... |

| 6. |  | Tree of Smoke: A Novel from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review:  I can't resist novels about Vietnam. And this 1997 book had absolutely rave reviews. It even won the National Book Award. Reviewers called it a masterpiece. I just HAD to read it. Now, 702 pages later, I'm sorry I did. This book was just plain awful. And the only satisfaction I got out of slogging... |

| 7. |  | Crime and Punishment (Enriched Classics) from Pocket Price: $7.95 Customer Review: It's seldom that I root for the evildoer of a novel or movie, but Dostoyevsky definitely had me doing it with "Crime and Punishment". Early in the novel, impoverished student Raskolnikov murders two innocent older women in order to make a quick buck (and also for deeper reasons revealed later in the... |

| 8. |  | A Life of Picasso: The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932 from Knopf Price: $26.40 Customer Review: Anyone with a deep interest in art history will want to buy and read this highly instructive book. John Richardson draws from a deep well of personal and professional knowledge in writing this lively volume covering fifteen critical years in the career of the last century's foremost artist. |

| 9. |  | The Idiot from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Many critics have oddly tried to cast The Idiot as a thinly veiled autobiographical piece due to the fact that Dostoevsky, himself, suffered from epilepsy, but how this fact- that Myshkin is Dostoevsky- even were it true, helps the books be understood better, is never clarified. Another of the... |
