To Kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee
Grand Central Publishing, 1988
American Classic
Harper Lee wrote only one novel. And it is probably one of the best books ever written. It's a beautiful story of the South and one incredible and emotional year, all told through the observant and innocent eyes of a little girl called Scout.
This is a great book ...

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
Neil Strauss
William Morrow, 2005
How could anyone not like this book???
It's well written, funny and highly entertaining. It's not a 'how to' manual on picking up chicks, it's the author's experience on journey going from an Average Frustrated Chump (AFC) to Pick Up Guru (PUG). Highly recommended.
