New Books, Slightly Used

It's been some time since I last patronized the Newton Free Library quarterly book sale, but I went today - on such a grim, rainy Saturday morning it was actually perfect to spend my time in a cramped library basement with a bunch of malodorous oddballs - and came away with some good stuff for $19:

  • The Yiddish Policemen's Union, by Michael Chabon
  • Wonder Boys, by Michael Chabon
  • Rise to Rebellion, by Jeff Shaara
  • The Steel Wave, by Jeff Shaara
  • Lords of the North, by Bernard Cornwell
  • Sword Song, by Bernard Cornwell
  • England, England, by Julian Barnes
  • Death and Restoration, by Iain Pears
  • Purity of Blood, by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
  • Naked Pictures of Famous People, by Jon Stewart
  • Out of This World, by Graham Swift
  • Man of War, by Allan Mallinson
  • Marjorie Morningstar, by Herman Wouk
  • Underworld, by Don DeLillo
Any recommendations as to what to read first (or not at all) from this crop?
