Unstuck in time, the hero of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five--an unforgettable Everyman named Billy Pilgrim--is never sure what part of his life he is going to have to act in next. Vonnegut's wildly imaginative, witty and affecting novel tells Billy Pilgrim's story in just that fashion.

Brave New World [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Aldous Huxley
|
|
In the end, it was Aldous Huxley, not George Orwell (whom Huxley taught at Eton), whose vision of the future had the touch of prophecy. The modern world did not collapse into the cold, damp totalitarian hell Orwell described in his 1948 novel 1984. What has happened is closer to Huxley's vision of the future in his astonishing 1931 novel Brave New World--a world of tomorrow in which capitalist civilization has been reconstituted through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering... more info>> (Published: 2002)

The Sirens of Titan [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Kurt Vonnegut
|
|
"His best book," Esquire wrote of Kurt Vonnegut's 1959 novel The Sirens of Titan, adding, "he dares not only to ask the ultimate question about the meaning of life, but to answer it." This novel fits into that aspect of the Vonnegut canon that might be classified as science fiction, a quality that once led Time to describe Vonnegut as "George Orwell, Dr. Caligari and Flash Gordon compounded into one writer ... a zany but moral mad scientist." The Sirens of Titan was perhaps the novel that began ... more info>> (Published: 2002)

And Then There Were None [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)/Adobe]
by Agatha Christie
|
|
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is probably the signature novel of one of the best-selling authors of all time, a masterpiece of mystery and suspense that has been a fixture in popular literature since it was published in England in 1939. American readers might know the novel better as Ten Little Indians, the original title under which it was published in the U.S. in 1940. A simple sketch of the plot will remind readers of this enduring tale without robbing the mystery of its delectab... more info>> (Published: 2002)

In an afterword to this novel, written a quarter of a century after its publication, and in a yet later afterword for this RosettaBooks edition, Robert Silverberg writes that Stepsons of Terra was his attempt to write a complex, shifting, even dazzling novel in the style of the heavily influential Philip K. Dick. Dick's ingenious plot and use of time paradoxes in his first novel, Solar Lottery (published in l954) had intrigued Silverberg, who was at the time 19 years old.

Forster's 1924 masterpiece, A Passage to India, is a novel about preconceptions and misconceptions and the desire to overcome the barrier that divides East and West in colonial India. It shows the limits of liberal tolerance, good intentions, and good will in sorting out the common problems that exist between two very different cultures.

Day of the Triffids [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by John Wyndham

"All the reality of a vividly realized nightmare," The Times of London wrote of John Wyndham's terrifying post-apocalyptic thriller Day of the Triffids, published in 1951. The novel is often labeled science fiction, but it might best be described as a completely unnerving fantasy, even at the distance of half a century- for nothing dates this story of a world rendered helpless by a frightening, unearthly phenomenon. Triffids are odd but interesting plants that seem to appear in everyone's garden... more info>> (Published: 2002)

Over a twenty-five year period, Gore Vidal created a series of seven novels, which together are referred to as his American Chronicle novels. These novels capture American history in fiction in a way in which few writers have attempted, let alone succeeded. Lincoln is the fourth volume in the series. In this profoundly moving novel, a work of epic proportions and intense human sympathy, Lincoln is observed by his loved ones and his rivals. The cast of characters is almost Dickensian: politicians... more info>>

I don't mean that word 'masterpiece' in the pretentious sense, not a sublime work of genius but merely the piece of work which a craftsman presents by way of proving that the apprenticeship is over. That required an elaborate plot. My earliest books suffered from an inability to tie up loose ends...so I studied my elders, I analyzed the means by which the science fiction writers I admired... more info>>

On Photography [Secure Mobipocket/eReader (recommended)]
by Susan Sontag
|
|
One of the most highly regarded books of its kind, On Photography first appeared in 1977 and is described by its author as 'a progress of essays about the meaning and career of photographs.' It begins with the famous "In Plato's Cave" essay, then offers five other prose meditations on this topic, and concludes with a fascinating and far-reaching "Brief Anthology of Quotations."
