The Green Man by Kingsley Amis
The Town That Forgot to Breathe by Kenneth J Harvey
the Everyman's Library edition of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontė. I am so amazed with the quality of Everyman's Library's books that I am currently updated all my favorite novels to their Everyman's respectful editions.

Escapades of the Eel by Hugh B. Cave published by Tattered Pages Press, 1997. Reprints 15 tales of the Eel, a pulp character from Spicy Adventure, Spicy Detective and Spicy Mystery magazines from the '30s. Think Indiana Jones by way of Humphrey Bogart. This one slipped past me when first published but found it at my home away from today the Bookery Fantasy in the pulp reprints section.
Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut (already read it and loved it!)
White Noise by Don DeLillo
The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated by Vladimir Nabokov with annotations by Alfred Appel Jr.
Absolutely, I have the Roald Dahl Collected Stories and Highsmith's Ripley trilogy (actually she wrote five books featuring this sociopathic genuis last two not included in this volume). Soon will be purchasing Cormac McCarthy's Border trilogy and Nabokov's Lolita in Everyman's Library amongst whatever else I can find.Originally Posted by Julian Koller

Little Men by Louisa May Alcott. Actually, I'm addicted to the series.
What exactly is this book? Is it just a collection of various artists' depictions of Discworld characters or is it one specific artist, Paul Kidby perhaps?I'm a big fan of Discworld and this sounds like something I should maybe have.

feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
The witches of Smyrni by Mara Meimaridi
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain

There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
