Flash Fiction, 72 Very Short Stories
A fiction anthology. "Flash" means the story may be no longer than a couple of paragraphs. It isn't a genre that's caught on yet, but some love it. Great also if you tire quickly reading in English and want a very short story, yet still one which is well written. Great gift for an Estonian friend who likes lit and studies English, though it's not in mint condition so don't try to pass it off as brand new. Paperback, 75 EEK.
Frozen Hell by William R. Trotter
An excellent non-fiction account of the Russo-Finnish war of 1939-40. It's full of Finnish machine-gun fire mowing down columns of Russkis who, while not being killed by machine gun fire, are busy walking through minefields, arm in arm, and singing merry war songs. Truly astounding. This is the best book I've read on the winter war, and I had to go to Helsinki to buy it. I needed it for research on an article I wrote, so it's all marked up, and therefore I'll greatly discount it. Paperback, 100 EEK.
