Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
malwethien, how was your trip? I had to pop in to say hi and also to see what book you were listing currently. Sounds like something you would like. :lol: I like your quote and in white - nice formating. I miss hearing from you. Hope you had fun on that tiny Pacific island!:) JQuote:

Troubled Sleep by Sartre (Vintage edition -- been looking forever for the third and final book in his Roads to Freedom series in this particular edition to have the full set)
After Dark by Haruki Murakami
Falling Man by Don DeLillo
Auggie Wren's Christmas Story by Paul Auster (this is a small hardbound/illustrated edition of the story that Harvey Keitel tells William Hurt at the end of the film Smoke -- it is little more than a short story, but this book edition is a small object of beauty, so I could not resist)
Finally, I found that my edition of Oscar Wilde's collected works contains everything he wrote, except for the short stories, so I ordered a nice hardbound edition of the short stories (and other writings) from Amazon. When the book arrived, it turned out to be big as a millstone. Literally, it weighs 3 or 4 pounds, and the format is enormous. It also contains reproductions of the original illustrations and the pages have gilded edges -- another beautiful book, but one that I am actually not sure how I will physically go about reading.
Four "lost" horror classics and one "lost" thriller classic.
