Standard Operating Procedure: A War Story by Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris
Written by Gourevitch based on the hundreds of hours of interviews conducted by Morris, this is the definitive work on Abu Ghraib prison and what really went on inside the gates. If what you think you may know about Abu Ghraib comes from watching CNN, this is a must-read. 150 EEK. I betcha it's the only copy of its kind in the entire Baltic region.
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Winner of the '97 Booker Prize, I bought this in India, and to prove it the Goverment of India Departure Card is still inside. Excellent condition except for being oh-so-slightly bent due to India's humidity. Or perhaps the humidity in my garage. If like me you're out of money and can't go somewhere warm, this is the next best thing. Authentic. Exotic. A fine read. 100 EEK.
The Longest Winter by Alex Kershaw
When you start to wonder if the Estonia winter will ever end, this book will help you be grateful you're not suffering from trenchfoot in a Bastogne foxhole. The Longest Winter is the story of The Battle of the Bulge and World War II's most decorated platoon. A good winter read. 150 EEK.
