Spencer- Dr. Vegas
Bio: Just look at him. Those flowing golden locks. Those rippling muscles. That astounding visual acuity. Yes, Spencer is a fine, 135-pound piece of grade-A American, book-selling meat. Originally hailing from Las Vegas, Spencer donned a false name and fled his desert home to escape his mafia ties and consdierable gambling debt. Arriving in Spokane, he quickly enrolled at Gonzaga University and recieved a degree in Psychology so as to discover the sinister motives of his peers and enemies. He took this job at Auntie's for the glamour and the prestige, which has not yet dissappointed him. He is a sky pirate, a lexicon artist, a ghost hunter, a folk balladeer, and a daytime windmill chaser, which means he has all the skills necessary to find the books you need.
 Lolita (Paperback)$15.00 ISBN-13: 9780679723165Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Vintage, 03/01/1989 The best written book in the English language. Any concearns about the subject material melt away after one paragraph--I promise!  Winesburg, Ohio (Paperback)$8.95 ISBN-13: 9780140186550Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Penguin Classics, 01/01/2002 A series of stories set in a fictional town at the turn of the century. Highly regarded by his contemporaries (think Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald), Anderson was a master of the small, priate moment, the sort of strange epiphanies that come in an instant and are gone just as fast. A quiet gem of a book whose characters I return to often.  $16.00 ISBN-13: 9780812971897Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Random House Trade Paperbacks, 01/01/2006 The central thesis of Aslans work is that the faith of Islam is currently engaged in a struggle that mirrors the Reformation of the Catholic church in the 14th century, but the book's concearns are far wider. It is part assecible history of Islam, part pantheistic religious philopshy, part political analysis. It is approachable without being shallow, managing to capture a faith's complexity and beauty without obscuring it to a Western eye.  The Once and Future King (Mass Market Paperback)$7.99 ISBN-13: 9780441627400Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Ace, 07/01/1987 The classic retelling of Arthurian legend, White's book is most famous for the Disney movie adaptation of its first section. But Arthur's life only begins with that famous Sword and Stone, and the three remaining slices of White's book broaden and deepen the characters, examining the nature of morality in leadership. It's also often very funny, in a 1950s British sort of way. Bookmark/Search this post with: |
