16. Three To Kill
by Jean-Patrick Manchette (Author)
STORY LINE
Businessman Georges Gerfaut witnesses a murder—and is pursued by
the killers. His conventional life knocked off the rails, Gerfaut turns
the tables and sets out to track down his pursuers. Along the way, he
learns a thing or two about himself.... Manchette—masterful stylist,
ironist, and social critic—limns the cramped lives of professionals in a
neo-conservative world.
Jean-Patrick Manchette
(1942—1995) rescued the French crime novel from the grip of stodgy
police procedurals—restoring the noir edge by virtue of his post-1968
leftism. Today, Manchette is a totem to the generation of French mystery
writers who came in his wake. Jazz saxophonist, political activist, and
screen writer, Manchette was influenced as much by Guy Debord as by
Gustave Flaubert.

| Jean-Patrick Manchette |
Jean-Patrick Manchette (December 19, 1942, Marseille - June 3, 1995,
Paris) was a French crime novelist credited with reinventing and
reinvigorating the genre. He wrote ten short novels in the 1970s and
early 80s, and is widely recognized as the foremost French crime fiction
author of that time. His stories are violent, existentialist
explorations of the human condition and French society. Jazz saxophonist
and screenwriter, Manchette was also a left-wing activist influenced as
much by the writings of the Situationist International as by Dashiell
Hammett.

one: a world where the captain of the football team is a werewolf and

before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow
students are turning into flesh-eating zombies--and he's next on the
menu.
As if starting high school isn't hard enough. . .now
Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chain saw from the
principal, and keep the zombies and the demon Simi from eating his
brains, all without getting grounded or suspended. How in the world is
he supposed to do that?

the breadwinner.

21. Purgatory By Dante
Purgatory is the second part of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. We find
the Poet, with his guide Virgil, ascending the terraces of the Mount of
Purgatory inhabited by those doing penance to expiate their sins on
earth. There are the proud – forced to circle their terrace for aeons
bent double in humility; the slothful – running around crying out
examples of zeal and sloth; while the lustful are purged by fire.

A Novel (Michigan Literary Fiction Awards)
Winner of the 2004 Michigan Literary Fiction Award for novel
A haunting story of the power of death, the pain of loss, and the possibility of hope.
"Gripping, damning, and transfixing."
# Entertainment Weekly
" . . . possesses a time-bending gravity. . . . small classic of graceful language and earned emotion."
---San Francisco Chronicle
".
. . a beautifully written novel of war and the wrenching grief and
unanswerable questions it leaves in its wake. . . . A Century of
November is full of precise, startling imagery and elegant, richly
poetic description---Wetherell seems genuinely incapable of writing a
lazy sentence---and this last section of the novel is as surreal,
hypnotic and harrowing as any literature in recent memory. The whole
thing, in fact, is a jewel, an unforgettable historical novel that
Wetherell has carefully (and artfully) seeded with loads of contemporary
resonance." ---Star-Tribune (Minneapolis)

25.Live by Night: A Novel (Coughlin Series Book 2)
By Dennis Lehane
From Gone, Baby, Gone to Mystic River to Shutter Island to The
Given Day, the phenomenal Dennis Lehane has proven himself to be one of
the most versatile and exciting novelists working in America
today—whether he’s breaking new ground with uniquely inventive
psychological suspense, redefining the detective story, or bringing a
bygone era to life with sweeping and masterful historical fiction. He’s
back with Live by Night, an epic, unflinching tale of the making and
unmaking of a gangster in the Prohibition Era of the Roaring Twenties.
Meticulously
researched and artfully told, Live by Night is the riveting story of
one man’s rise from Boston petty thief to the Gulf Coast’s most
successful rum runner, and it proves again that the accolades New York
Times bestseller Lehane consistently receives are well deserved. He is
indeed, “a master” (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose “true literary
forefathers include John Steinbeck as well as Raymond Chandler”
(Baltimore Sun). And, “Boy, does he know how to write” (Elmore Leonard).
Story Line
Boston, 1926. The '20s are roaring. Liquor is
flowing, bullets are flying, and one man sets out to make his mark on
the world. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of
underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe
Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent Boston police captain, has
long since turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing. Now
having graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay
of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys the spoils, thrills,
and notoriety of being an outlaw. But life on the dark side carries a
heavy price. In a time when ruthless men of ambition, armed with cash,
illegal booze, and guns, battle for control, no one-neither family nor
friend, enemy nor lover-can be trusted. Beyond money and power, even the
threat of prison, one fate seems most likely for men like Joe: an early
death. But until that day, he and his friends are determined to live
life to the hilt. Joe embarks on a dizzying... Written by Anonymous
