Children of Hurin CD at Barnes and Noble It seems an unlikely
formula for success: an Oxford professor of Anglo-Saxon, and
a book that begins with a little man who lives in a hole in
the ground. But The Hobbit, followed by The Lord of
the Rings, created the modern genre of heroic fantasy and
made J.R.R. Tolkien one of the most widely-read authors in the
world.

Harry Potter
and the Deathly Hallows Begun a decade
ago and encompassing six shelf-bending novels, the seventh and
concluding volume of the international literary phenomenon that
is the Harry Potter saga comes to a bombshell-packed -- and
oh so satisfying -- conclusion in Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, arguably the most wildly anticipated release in
modern publishing history.
As the novel begins, Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the run
from Lord Voldemort, whose minions of Death Eaters have not
only taken control of the Minister of Magic but have begun to
systematically -- and forcibly -- change the entire culture
of the magic community: Muggle-born wizards, for example, are
being rounded up and questioned, and all "blood traitors" are
being imprisoned. But as Voldemort and his followers ruthlessly
pursue the fugitive with the lightning bolt scar on his forehead,
Potter finally uncovers the jaw-dropping truth of his existence....
Undoubtedly Rowling's crowning literary achievement, this
triumphant final installment not only answers any and all questions
surrounding integral characters like Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort,
Severus Snape, Neville Longbottom, and Draco Malfoy but also
brilliantly deals with some decidedly adult themes -- mortality,
faith, duty, honor, etc. -- with a lyrical simplicity that will
touch the hearts of readers of all ages. ("Do not pity the dead...pity
the living, and, above all, those who live without love.") Rowling
definitely saved the best for last in this saga; HP7 will exceed
the expectations of even the most demanding Harry Potter fan
-- a towering, transcendent end to an equally towering and transcendent
series. Paul Goat Allen

all their horrible characteristics, 50 Relatives Worse Than
Yours is the perfect gift for anyone who's embarrassed by some

 Boom!
by Tom Brokaw; Tom Brokaw
delivers another mesmerizing read. It's one of the treasures
we've rounded up for the history buff.
Synopsis
The author of the bestselling The Greatest Generation
takes us on a tour of the turbulent 1960s, blending his personal
reflections with firsthand accounts from the people that lived
through it.
The New York Times - Janet Maslin
[Brokaw] approaches this magnum opus with warmth, curiosity
and conviction, the same attributes that worked so well for
his Greatest Generation. And he will succeed in prompting
readers to step back and do some soul searching. Boom!
is as interesting for the effects it can catalyze as for those
it actually describes. This book would be an odd and sprawling
compendium were it not for the unifying effect of Mr. Brokaw's
companionable style. His writing makes up in intimacy what it
lacks in fancy footwork, even if a quota of '60s cultural boilerplate
is part of the package…On the page, as he is on the screen,
Mr. Brokaw is a canny, perceptive interviewer with an honest
interest in what other people have to say.

 Oprah
selects master storyteller Ken Follett's modern classic
The Pillars of the Earth as her new book club pick
Although Ken Follett made his fortune with a list of #1 bestselling
thrillers, he earned his acclaim with this epic tale of
Synopsis
"Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner," extolled
Publishers Weekly on the release of The Pillars of
the Earth. A departure for the bestselling thriller writer,
the historical epic stunned readers and critics alike with its
ambitious scope and gripping humanity. Today, it is a beloved
favorite of countless readers, standing as a testament to Follett's
unassailable command of the written word and to his universal
appeal.
A spellbinding epic set in twelfth-century England, The
Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of
Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the
greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the
mason who becomes his architect-a man divided in his soul...of
the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and
of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against
state, and brother against brother.
Annotation
Ken Follett, internationally-acclaimed master of split-second
suspense, author of six #1 bestsellers, reaches beyond the expected
to achieve his most brilliant and remarkable novel. The epic
story of the building of a cathedral in 12th century England
and the lives of the people entwined with it and each other
is a sensuous, enduring narrative, and a gripping tale of faith,
ambition, bloodshed and betrayal.
