The Gathering
by Anne EnrightAnne Enright is a dazzling writer of international stature and one of Ireland's most singular voices. Now she delivers The Gathering, a moving, evocative portrait of a large Irish family and a shot of fresh blood into the Irish literary tradition, combining the lyricism of the old with the shock of the new. The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan are gathering in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother, Liam, drowned in the sea. His sister, Veronica, collects the body and keeps the dead man company, guarding the secret she shares with him-something that happened in their grandmother's house in the winter of 1968. As Enright traces the line of betrayal and redemption through three generations her distinctive intelligence twists the world a fraction and gives it back to us in a new and unforgettable light. The Gathering is a daring, witty, and insightful family epic, clarified through Anne Enright's unblinking eye. It is a novel about love and disappointment, about how memories warp and secrets fester, and how fate is written in the body, not in the stars.<P><P> Man Booker Prize winner

And Then the Roof Caved In: How Wall Street's Greed and Stupidity Brought Capitalism to Its Knees
by David FaberCNBC's David Faber takes an in-depth look at the causes and consequences of the recent financial collapse. And Then the Roof Caved In lays bare the truth of the credit crisis, whose defining emotion at every turn has been greed, and whose defining failure is the complicity of the U.S. government in letting that greed rule the day. Written by CNBC's David Faber, this book painstakingly details the truth of what really happened with compelling characters who offer their first-hand accounts of what they did and why they did it. Page by page, Faber explains the events of the previous seven years that planted the seeds for the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. He begins in 2001, when the Federal Reserve embarked on an unprecedented effort to help the economy recover from the attacks of 9/11 by sending interest rates to all time lows. Faber also gives you an up-close look at where the crisis was incubated and unleashed upon the world-Wall Street-and introduces you to insiders from investment banks and mortgage lenders to ratings agencies, that unwittingly conspired to insure lending standards were abandoned in the head long rush for profits. Based on two years of research, this book provides deep background into the current credit crisis. Offers the insights of experienced professionals--from Alan Greenspan to prominent bankers and regulators--who were on the front lines. Created by David Faber, the face of morning business news on CNBC, and host of the network's award winning documentaries. From regulators who tried to stop this problem before it swung out of control to hedge fund managers who correctly foresaw the coming housing crash and profited from it, And Then the Roof Caved In shows you how the crisis we currently face came to be.

Image of the Beast and Blown
by Philip Jose FarmerAfter viewing his partner's mutilation in a home movie, Herald Childe, a horrified private detective pursues leads in the most disgusting case of his career. His investigation plunges him into a nightmare of sexual brutality and supernatural bestiality. Or is it a giant hoax? Or is it just difficult for humans to understand the lifestyles of truly alien beings? Or if you are caught in a war between two groups of supernatural creatures (or is it aliens) can a mere human tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys (there are good guys and bad guys aren't there)? And what can all this possibly have to do with that movie and the death of Childe's partner?
Riverworld and Other Stories

Most of the other stories have seldom been collected elsewhere. Several are stories where Farmer writes the book as though another writer, usually a fictional author from someone else's writing.

Some stories include a raunchy vocabulary, but they are not quite explicit enough to say adult only content
