The Dispossessed - This book won both a Nebula and Hugo Award. The story explores many ideas and themes, including anarchism and revolutionary societies, capitalism, individualism and collectivism. It also includes creation of the ansible, the instantaneous communications device that is used in other stories. It addresses potential shortcomings of an anarchist society. It is told from the point of view of a theoretical physicist, with the creative ability and intellect of an Einstein, who has grown to adulthood on a planet with a well-established anarchist culture. A committed anarchist, he seeks to defend and expand the values of personal freedom and responsibility. The anarchist society in which he lives espouses such values, but falls far short of living up to them. The capitalist alternative, embodied in a society located on a different planet, is controlled by an elite driven by greed and power. The dilemma posed by the novel is whether one extraordinary and courageous man with the help of like-minded others can overcome the shortcomings of both societies and make a lasting contribution that enhances peace and freedom throughout the cosmos.

Forever - This book dates from the 1970s when it was pretty hard for teens to get any information whatsoever about sex and sexual relationships. - The story is about two nice, normal older teenagers who meet at a party, date, fall in love and eventually find themselves wanting to have a sexual relationship with each other. The sex scenes are described in detail but in an informational, not a dramatic, scary or otherwise "weird" way. At the time they truly think they will be together forever, but later events cast doubt on their promise. The focus of this book is on presenting a sexual relationship that wasn't accompanied by a horrible tragedy or "punishment" for the people involved, so that teens could just focus on what a "normal" relationship was like, sexually and emotionally. The criticism of the book: it fails to portray that not every sexual relationship goes along as smoothly, and should have dealt a little more realistically with the emotional impact that can happen when one person changes their mind about "forever".

Halderman also captures the disorientation experienced by GIs who came back from horrific combat, and were expected to instantly adjust to the then existing culture, which may incorporate hundreds of years of change.

These are the philosophical questions raised by the book. Not to be overlooked is the display of detail about weapons and war and surviving.

House Rules - This is the story of Jacob Hunt, a teenage boy with Asperger's Syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject - in his case, forensic analysis. He's always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do…and he's usually right. His abilities become recognized in time. One day his tutor is found dead, and the police come to question him. All of the hallmark behaviors of Asperger's - not looking someone in the eye, stimulatory tics and twitches, inappropriate affect - can look a heck of a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel. That's what happens and Jacob finds himself accused of murder. The book looks at what it means to be different in our society, how autism affects a family, and how our legal system works well for people who communicate a certain way - but lousy for those who don't. It all ends well.

Howards End - The poor bank clerk, rich young idealistic sisters, and a
wealthy materialistic widower interact and eventually connect. Published
in 1910, Forster describes manners, morals and economic outlook of
the time. Lionel Trilling said the book was about “Who shall inherit
England?”; update the time to today and the question is still relevant.

Huckleberry Finn - Read this book as an adventure of a teenager in 19th
century Border states and the South. Read it for the implicit commentary on morals and outlook of the time. Read it for the description of a growing
friendship between a boy and a fugitive slave and their trials.

The Iliad- An epic chronicling the Trojan wars. Achilles, Helen of Troy,
Agamemnon, cast of thousands wage war. Vital to understanding
classic allusions.

The Importance of Being Earnest - A three act play considered Wilde’s
best. Witty satire of Victorian social hypocrisy. Filled with famous
epigrams and sparkling dialogue. The double life of a fashionable,
privileged gentleman. Light, entertaining reading.

In Defense of Women - A The central argument that women are superior
to men may or may not be proven, but this book is hilarious. Prostitution,
soul mates, monogamy, women's voting, marying above and below one's
station, etc. -all the important stuff about the relations of men and women are here. You judge whether there's deep wisdom in the humor. A trip for men and women, but especially for bachelors.

The Invisible Man - A One of the earliest works of science fiction by one
of the masters. A scientist creates a serum which renders him invisible.
Plausibility aside, the book makes one wonder about the consequences
of invisibility, perhaps of being a lone wolf in science.

I, Robot - This is a collection of nine short stories which tell the larger story of the fictional history of robots. Humans who appear from story to story are Dr. Susan Calvin, chief robotpsycholgist of U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc., the major manufacturer of robots and the field testers Powell and Donovan. Though the stories can be read separately, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots and morality and tell of the aberrant behavior of some of the robots. The book also contains the short story in which Asimov's famous Three Laws of Robotics first appears.

The Island of Doctor Moreau- What separates man from beast?
Brilliant anticipation of medical advances written before the 20th
Century. Social satire, Horror Tale, Adventure, Blasphemous, Painful
medical experiments for curiosity alone. It’s all in this short book.

Jokes for Seniors or the Visually Impaired - Prepared by the Woolf
Foundation staff, this is a collection of over 500 jokes in 30 categories.

woman, doctor, lawyer, young, older, Irish, Jewish, Italian, Polish,
married, single, atheist, priest, golfer, President or former President,
you may find jokes that apply to you.

A Journal of the Plague Year - There is no doubt that this is a work of fiction. It purports to be an eyewitness account of the London plague of 1665, a year when the author was 5 years old. Still, it is a good account of what probably happened at the time. There is grisly detail and examples of compassion. There is the description of the symptoms of the plague and the efforts to contain it. There are varying estimates, but between 65,000 and 100,000 people in London died. The narrator trusts in God to get him through the hardships and the danger. The story recounts the efforts to deal with a catastrophe and the eventual recovery of a stronger and wiser society.

The Jungle - On one level, The Jungle exposed inhumane conditions in
the stockyards. Inhumane for the workers, downright poisonous for
consumers of the meat because of the utter disregard for hygiene.
On another level this is a socialist tract against the inhumane
treatment of workers who are considered interchangeable and
disposable cogs in a capitalist machine. The book led to new laws
on both worker's rights and the meatpacking industry. On still a third
level, the book describes the immigrant experience at the beginning
of the 20th century.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying - It's the 1930s in London. Gordon Comstock is
a bright, educated and poor man in his late twenties. He thinks of himself
as a poet, but his chief occupation is avoiding success which he believes is
selling out. In fact, he wants to think he has taken "not a good job": as part of his war on money. There are good descriptions of the difficult choices needed when money is scarce. There are several divergent ways of looking at the book: it's realistic, sarcastic, simplistic, preachy, and political. It's part of Orwell's genius that it's all of these and more.

Key Out of Time - This is Book 4 in the Time Traders Series, In this book Ross Murdock and Arthur Ashe continue their adventures in Time and Space on the World of Hawaika. Hawaiian and Polynesian settlers help Ross and Ashe discover the way the world has changed from the data tape to present time. Helped by a girl (Karara) and her two trained dolphins.

colonialist. The main character is a young boy, raised on the
streets, sure a great destiny awaits him. He travels throughout
India with a Tibetan lama. This book can be read for the sheer
adventure or for the descriptions of a time and place and

The Kite Runner - Betrayal and redemption set in war-torn Afghanistan and the United States. Amir and Hassan are childhood friends in the alleys and orchards of Kabul before the invasion of the Soviet army and Afghanistan's decent into fanaticism. Both motherless, they grow up as close as brothers, but their fates, they know, are to be different. Amir's father is a wealthy merchant; Hassan's father is his manservant. Amir belongs to the ruling caste of Pashtuns, Hassan to the despised Hazaras. This fragile idyll is broken by the mounting ethnic, religious, and political tensions that begin to tear Afghanistan apart. An unspeakable assault on Hassan by a gang of local boys tears the friends apart; Amir has witnessed his friend's torment, but is too afraid to intercede. Plunged into self-loathing, Amir conspires to have Hassan and his father turned out of the household. When the Soviets invade Afghanistan, Amir and his father flee to San Francisco, leaving Hassan and his father to a pitiless fate. Only years later will Amir have an opportunity to redeem himself by returning to Afghanistan to begin to repay the debt long owed to the man who should have been his brother. After establishing himself in America, Amir learns that the Taliban have murdered Hassan and his wife, raising questions about the fate of his son, Sohrab. Spurred on by childhood guilt, Amir makes the difficult journey to Kabul, only to learn the boy has been enslaved by a former childhood bully who has become a prominent Taliban official. The price Amir must pay to recover the boy is just one of several brilliant, startling plot twists that make this book memorable.

The Known World - An examination of antebellum Virginia and slave owning with a twist, the master is black as are his slaves. Henry Townsend, a former slave-now master of 33 slaves of his own and more than 50 acres of land in Manchester County, Va.-worried about the fate of his holdings upon his death. As a slave in his youth, Henry makes himself indispensable to his master, William Robbins. Even after Henry's parents purchase the family's freedom, Henry retains his allegiance to Robbins, who patronizes him when he sets up shop as a shoemaker and helps him buy his first slaves and his own plantation. The book describes the legal and social intricacies of slaveholding. Though he is a cruel master to his slaves, Robbins is desperately in love with a black woman and feels as much fondness for Henry as for his own children; Henry, meanwhile, reads Milton, but beats his slaves as readily as Robbins does. Henry's wife, Caldonia, is not as disciplined as her husband, and when he dies, his worst fears are realized: the plantation falls into chaos. The story explains how it is that one can own another person and how it is to be owned. This is an extra large print publication specifically formatted by the Virginia M.

The Last Days of Pompeii - This is a novel written in 1834. Once a very widely read book, now relatively neglected, it culminates in the cataclysmic destruction of the city of Pompeii by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius inn 79 AD. The novel uses its characters to contrast the decadent culture of 1st-century Rome with both older cultures and coming trends. The protagonist, Glaucus, represents the Greeks who have been subordinated by Rome, and his nemesis Arbaces the still older culture of Egypt. Olinthus is the chief representative of the nascent Christian religion, which is presented favorably but not uncritically. The Witch of Vesuvius, though she has no supernatural powers, shows the author's interest in the occult - a theme which would emerge in his later writing.

Love in the Time of Cholera - This story revolves around Fermina Daza. She marries Juvenal Urbino at the age of 21, the "deadline" she had set for herself. She does this because he seemed to be able to offer security and love. Urbino is a doctor devoted to science, modernity, and "order and progress." Urbino's function is to provide the counterpoint to Florentino Ariza's archaic, baldly romantic love. Urbino proves in the end not to have been an entirely faithful husband, confessing one affair to Fermina some years into their marriage. Though the novel seems to suggest that Urbino's love for Fermina was never as spiritually chaste as Florentino Ariza's was, it also complicates Florentino's devotion by cataloging his many trysts and apparently a few, possibly genuine, loves. By the end of the book, Fermina comes to recognize a wisdom and maturity in Ariza and their love is allowed to blossom in their old age.

The Memory of Earth - For Ender fans this is departure. There have been comparisons made of this book and the Book of Mormon. Harmony, a planet settled 40 million years ago following the destruction of Earth, is overseen by the Oversoul, an intelligent computer able to communicate telepathically with certain of the inhabitants. A bit jarring is the idea that the computer, in order to prevent war, has arranged that humans are prevented from inventing the wheel, but have advanced solid state electronics. The hero, Nafai, lives in a semi-matriarchal city where women rule politically and men contract short-time marriages. Probably because of the computer breakdown, there is a threatened war between different groups of men. Other readers have said this book is really about the relationship between men and women and/or whether God is omnipotent or good. Whatever your take, it's a very good read.

Metamorphosis - The protagonist wakes up to find he has been
transformed into an insect. He and his family attempt, unsuccessfully,
to adjust. This is philosophy presented as comedy. Some suggest the
“meaning” is that the “hero” had been psychologically transformed by
his life before the physical transformation. This is a short work by the
writer who gave birth to the term Kafkaesque.

Moby Dick - The book can be read as an allegorical masterpiece and is
sometimes called the Great American Novel. It can also be read as a
very detailed description of whaling before the advent of floating fishing
factories. It’s also a commentary on people, places, practices, of the mid

Sort of like what we do in real life.

Never Let Me Go - Cloning and how it might affect real people who are raised to become organ donors. The narrator, now 31 remembers her life at an English boarding school for "special students." The reminiscence is told from the point of view of Kathy H., now 31., As an adult, Kathy re-engages in lapsed friendships with classmates Ruth and Tommy, examining the details of their shared youth and revisiting with growing awareness the clues and anecdotal evidence apparent to them even as youngsters that they were "different" from everyone outside. Ultimately, readers learn that the children are clones, raised solely for the purpose of medical harvesting of organs, their lifespan circumscribed by years when they are designated as carers, followed by a short period as active donors, culminating in what is obliquely referred to as "completion." The recovery centers where Kathy serves as a carer for Ruth and then Tommy provide the setting for the latter half of the novel, defining the distinct rhythms and tenor of their days much as the school did when they were young. The tension and bond of their relationship is as much a theme of the book as is cloning.

an only slightly exaggerated description of our world? Notwithstanding

Oryx and Crake - We first meet Jimmy after a cataclysmic event which seems to have destroyed most human life.

The two encountered Oryx on the Net; she was the eight-year-old star of a pedophilic film on a site called HottTotts. Oryx's story is a counterpoint to Jimmy and Crake's affluent adolescence. Jimmy meets Oryx much later-after college, after Crake gets Jimmy a job with ReJoovenEsence. Crake is designing the Crakers-a new, multicolored placid race of human beings. He's procured Oryx to be his personal assistant. She teaches the Crakers how to cope in the world and goes out on secret missions. The mystery on which this tale hinges is how Crake and Oryx and civilization vanished, and how Jimmy survived. This is an extra large print publication specifically formatted by the Virginia M.

including the ending.

This Side of Paradise - Fitzgerald’s first book and the one that catapulted
him to fame while barely out of college. No doubt semi-autobiographical,
it looks at the upper crust of the pre-World War I generation. Prep
schools, Princeton, wealth, dissipation. The hero should rather be called
a protagonist and not a very admirable character. He’s selfish and unkind,
but doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is. Also to his
credit, he is sensitive to beauty everywhere, and he can see merit in
others. His triumph comes only by surviving.

This World is Taboo - The hero is a member of the Interstellar Medical
Service. He lands on a planet which fears lethal contamination from a
neighboring planet. The story is a psychological study of what makes for

U Is For Undertow - This is the 21st book in the Kinsey Millhone series. A new character is Michael Sutton who claims to have had a strange experience - now remembering an incident in 1988 when he was 6-years-old. He saw two men in a woods burying a rather large bundle. That was the same time that a girl, Mary Clare, was kidnapped and never found. The story that he tells Kinsey convinces her to at least give him a little of her time to investigate and see if anything turns up. Flashback about 25 years to the Unruh home. Deborah and her husband, a well placed family, are a bit chagrined when their son, Greg, appears with Shelly and her small son. Deborah and Shelly are a bit like oil and water - Shelly's a manipulator par excellence. Segue to Kinsey who's dealing with personal problems plus Michael's siblings who paint him as unreliable. Is he a liar, a trouble maker or are his brother and sister trying to hide something? Moving back and forth in time keeps the plot hustling along as Kinsey learns more, probably much of which she never wanted to know.

The Voyage Out - Virginia Woolf’s first book. Life and love as
experienced by the privileged class in pre-WWI England. Attitudes
toward women, minorities, religion, captured, perhaps tongue in
cheek. Whether viewed as a typical novel of the time (1915) or
social satire, it describes a time now gone.

Walden- Call him an ecologist, a hermit, a philosopher, hopelessly
out of touch. Thoreau is an icon to many for his philosophy both
large and small. Building a house, how little furniture one really
needs or quotations from classics, it’s all here.

The War of the Worlds - The first of the alien invasion stories published
in 1898. It's not a script for the current movie, but the themes and
descriptions are remarkably similar. Notice an invasion in a world without
airplanes or modern weapons, but accurate speculation about biology and
astronomy. A true classic of the genre.

Warlord of Kor - Eight thousand years ago the giant aliens received divine
knowledge from what the puny earthlings called a god. They decided to
give up all aggression and give up any ambition to travel the stars or
advance the comforts of their civilization. Their numbers now approach
total extinction. The story starts as they are visited by earthmen who
bring aggression and technology back. It's a battle of cultures both
physically and psychologically. Can/will the aliens defend their way of life
and what help can they get from some earthlings? 182 pages in 18 point
type; 401 pages in 28 point type.

White Fang - It's the end of the 19th Century in the Klondike. Conditions
are very harsh. The story traces the journey of a dog born in the wild into
civilization. He is a survivor. We see through his eyes the violence of the
animal and the human world. This is a companion novel of "The Call of the
Wild". Hunger and pleasure, ethics, morality and redemption from a dog's
point of view.

Wild Seed - The story begins in 1690. we are introduced to Doro who is over 3,000 years old and a sort of energy being who transfers from one host body to another, killing his hosts in the process. As part of his rounds in gathering "special" humans he meets Anyanwu, a shapeshifter who can assume forms of any species, and of either gender. He takes her to America and locates her on one of his farms for people he is breeding. Wild Seed" is both a psychologically perspective character study and a profound meditation on power and desire. Butler's philosophical canvas takes in such controversial issues as slavery, race, reproduction, and gender. This is science fiction, but also a historical novel that expands the boundaries of African-American literature.
