Recent selections:
If the Sky Falls by Nicholas Montemarano
Montemarano's short story collection is a great stuff. He's been plenty praised. This collection contains his classic, "The Usual Human Disabilities," about the pill-popping healthcare worker who takes two men with cerebral palsy to a strip club. New paperback. 150 EEK.
Mannerheim, The Years of Preparation by J.E.O. Screen
The most respected English-language work on Mannerheim, or at least so I've been advised. Paperback and full of my notes. 150 EEK. Sells for 36 EUR in Helsinki. Ouch.
Mannerheim, The Finnish Years by J.E.O. Screen
Hardback. New and gift-worthy, except for the fact I already wrote my name in it. In ink. Sorry. 200 EEK. Costs 43 EUR in Helsinki. Where do Finns get off asking so much for books?
The River Reader, edited by John A. Murray
Chock full of great nature writers like Barry Lopez, Rick Bass, and Annie Dillard. It's got Hemingway, Mark Twain, Theodore Roosevelt, HD Thoreau, and a host of other fashionable oldies thrown in to fill pages, but for my money the contemporaries Lopez and Bass are better than any of the rest of them. Fat paperback. 150 EEK.
