Johnny Got His Gun: Johnny Cogió Su Fusil (Film Ink Ser.)
by Dalton TrumboThis is no ordinary novel. This is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless and gruesome...but so is war. Written from the perspective of one man's thoughts, often a stream of consciousness with its own punctuation style, even the title takes on new meaning. Published in 1939, the book itself has a history, partially described by the author in introductions in 1959 and 1970. A compelling novel about war that is still relevant today, this story is not to be missed. Note: The author does not follow standard American spelling.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (Dover Thrift Editions)
by Jules VerneAn adventurous geology professor chances upon a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer claims to have found a route to the earth's core. Professor Lidenbrock can't resist the opportunity to investigate, and with his nephew Axel, he sets off across Iceland in the company of Hans Bjelke, a native guide. The expedition descends into an extinct volcano toward a sunless sea, where they encounter a subterranean world of luminous rocks, antediluvian forests, and fantastic marine life — a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence.Originally published in 1864, Jules Verne's classic remains critically acclaimed for its style and imaginative visions. Verne wrote many fantasy stories that later proved remarkably prescient, and his distinctive combination of realism and romanticism exercised a lasting influence on writers as diverse as Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jean-Paul Sartre. In addition to the excitement of an action novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth has the added appeal of a psychological quest, in which the sojourn itself is as significant as the ultimate destination.
