[FCNYC] OFFER: Books (Harlem)

 

A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire (the threequel to Wicked)

Heat by Bill Buford (this book will make you hate Mario Batali)

Book of the Dead by Patricia Cornwall and The Book of the Dead by Preston and Child (both are trashy; I found them in a huge box of discarded books near CCNY and rather enjoyed them despite a few nails-on-chalkboard metaphors and such...they MUST be taken together, as they've got the same title but are vastly different and thoroughly sinful fun)

A Killing Frost by John Marsden and The Good Parents by Joan London (both must be taken together; they're both Aussie YA novels worthy of a read regardless of age! Read them and then give each to your teenage daughter if you've got one)

Take Your Shirt Off and Cry by Nancy Balbirer (light, amusing and NYC/L.A.-centric actor nonfic)

Murder at San Simeon by Patricia Hearst and Cordelia Frances Biddle and The Gold Coast by Nelson DeMille (the first has been decried by my 80+-year-old grandparents as sorely misleading, misinformative and short-changed, not in the least accurate; the latter I had to stop reading because it's so sexist: long, lean women with perfect features feature heavily in this barf-worthy piece of ugh. These pair terrifically well in that they're nowhere near literature. Fans of, say, Grisham and Nora Roberts, would probably find these pretty good. One is about the West Coast, the other is about Long Island)

I'll be around a lot over the weekend prepping for my garage sale, so you can take any/all these combinations. I may have a few more when you stop by, so just ask!

**I may not be able to find The Book of the Dead (I may have left it at a subway station) but definitely have Book of the Dead**

All I ask is that if you don't have a particular friend in mind for any of these, if you finish one while out and about, please leave it in a station or on a train--pay it forward to a complete stranger!
