Can anyone point me in the right direction of a possible reading order of Batman trades? I have "The Dark Knight Returns" and am very interested in other Batman stories (Dark Victory, Haunted Knight, Hush, The Killing Joke, The Long Halloween, The Man Who Laughs, Year One, Year One Hundred...

As the title eludes to, I am looking for suggestions of fiction by Canadian authors. However, I am looking for the more obscure. I am not looking for suggestions by Guy Gavriel Kay, or Margaret Atwood, or any other well known Canadian author. I am looking for those that you don't find on the...

I am interested in getting recommendations from others of novels with a baseball theme. The following are what I have read (three of them) or have sitting on my TBR pile. "The Dixie Association" by Donald Hays "Strike Zone" by Jim Bouton and Eliot Asinof "Coyote Moon" by John A. Miller...

I am a member of BookMooch and got a copy of "The Cleft" by Doris Lessing. However, it's an uncorrected proof. I am sure it differs from author to author, and even further from publisher to publisher, but what kind of things can I expect? Is there a possibility that the structure of the story...

Unlike most others, I have not read the book I am searching for. I saw it on Amazon about a year ago as a new release. I put it on my wish list, then took it off. Now I forget the title or author's name. I do remember a couple of things that I am hoping will spark someone's knowledge here...

I got a link from within the site for some software to track book collections. It says it supports a barcode scanner. Does anyone have any suggestions on a particular brand or model that is good, yet inexpensive? I have seen far many more then I expected while browsing the internet.

I was wondering if it is frowned upon to post eBay listings?

I wanted to post this, and I hope I am not overstepping any boundaries. I also figured that it could be used as a thread to discuss his work. But Jeffrey Ford is doing a couple of readings with another author, Greg Frost. The "gigs" are on Saturday, October 8th. You can get the info from...

Just like Doug Johnson, I have posted first a few times and didn't introduce myself. My apologies. My name is Scott. I have been an avid reader since college, though most of it consists of sci-fi and fantasy. Recently in the last year I have been reading books that fall more in the general...
