As I Lay Dying: The Corrected Text (Modern Library)191 reviews
William Faulkner

Modern Library, 2000

Homegoing
One of the most important writers of the twentieth century in any country, William Faulkner could tell a rousing tale. Check your collective memory. You're sitting around the campfire and the the storyteller begins. When it is Faulkner, expect the unexpected. As I Lay Dying. As Dead I Am Carried to My Homeplace. The first sentence: "Jewel and I come up from the field, following the path in ...
  
  











  



  
Light in August: The Corrected Text (Modern Library)20 reviews
William Faulkner

Modern Library, 2002

One of the greatest Faulkner Books
Out of all the Faulkner novels I've had the pleasure to read, Light In August has to be the one of my favorites and is easily the simplistic of his novels to read. It's a love story but not in a traditional sense and yet after you read it you'll fall in love with the characters.
  
  











  



  
Sanctuary: The Corrected Text30 reviews
William Faulkner

Vintage, 1993

Mississippi Noir
I have read my fair share of Faulkner although I am hardly a devotee. My main positive reference to him is concerning his role in the screenwriting of one of my favorite films- To Have or To Have Not with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. I have also, obliquely, run into his work as it relates to who should and who should not be in the modern American literary canon. Unusually the criticism ...

Absalom, Absalom!: The Corrected Text (Modern Library)122 reviews
William Faulkner

Modern Library, 1993

Absalom! Absalom!
I wrote a paper historical truth in Absalom! Absalom! in graduate school and decided to revisit the novel. The edition I purchased through Amazon is the one I used 35 years ago and consequently has some associations for me. I am pleased with the condition of my purchase. Thanks.Absalom, Absalom!: The Corrected Text (Modern Library)
  
  











  



  
Introduction to Latin (Revised and Corrected)1 review
Susan Shelmerdine

Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2007

Good introduction
I've already taken a year of high school Latin, but I wanted to take more in College, and this is the book my instructor choose. I think the material is presented in a gradual way, and I particularly like the treatment of the cases in the beginning of the book, however, I think it could do for a bit more completeness as far as the exercises go (a few more to use the vocabulary more in context), ...
  
  











  



  
The Sound and the Fury : The Corrected Text194 reviews
William Faulkner

Vintage, 1987

If only we all could be blessed with such failure.
This is William Faulkner's fourth book and considered by many to be one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written...and after reading this book and writing this review I share those sentiments. And yet, when you listen to Faulkner describe his depiction into the decline of the aristocratic Compson family, he considered it to be his best failure. The book comes at you in four sections with ...
  
  











  



  
Light in August (The Corrected Text)76 reviews
William Faulkner

Vintage International/Random House, 1990

Faulkner's Best (One of them, anyway)
This "Absalom,Absalom", and "Go Down, Moses" are my favorite novels by Faulkner. "Light in August" has the advantage of being his most readable book. I will let you in on a little secret, though. I have found that Faulkner is much better to LISTEN to than read straight. I'd read several of his books when I discovered my local library had a number of tapes and CDs of his work. Those read by Mark ...
  
  











  



  
The Sound and the Fury: The Corrected Text with Faulkner's Appendix (Modern Library)69 reviews
William Faulkner

Modern Library, 1992

Brilliant and Untouchable
While some may think that good work should be "readable and enjoyable," great work is meant to elevate us. Stun us, amaze us, fill us with wonder. Otherwise, See Spot Run would be a masterpiece. William Faulkner is a writer the likes of which we may never see again. He is not only brilliant of word but of concept. He creates a picture not only by text, but by context and form. In many ...
  
  











  



  
Pylon: The Corrected Text10 reviews
William Faulkner

Vintage, 1987

Unconditional
I have no excuses to give for this book. Don't read it if you don't want to. Don't read it if you want literature. Don't read it if you want prurient prose (despite the other reviewers' references to sex, there is little to find in it). Don't read it if you want Faulkner. Don't read it if you want style, or flow, or popular fiction, or innovation, or a book about racing planes, or New Orleans. ...
  
  











  



  
The Shadow out of Time: The Corrected Text7 reviews
H. P. Lovecraft

Hippocampus Press, 2001

A must-have for Lovecraft fans
"The Shadow Out of Time" is one of Lovecraft's finest tales, and this version is a collector-quality edition. The story itself is found in many Lovecraft anthologies, including an excellent presentation in Arkham House's "The Dunwich Horror and Others." However, there are many features that mark this volume as the definitive edition of "The Shadow Out of Time." The corrected text from a ...

I have used Young's Analytical Concordance for 50 years and it is by far the best tool to study the Bible I have found.
  
  











  



  
THE BIBLE CORRECTED by Joseph Smith2 reviews
Kenneth Lutes, Lyndell Lutes

Lutes International, 1999

THE BIBLE CORRECTED by Joseph Smith
This book is a wonderful guide to seeing all of the marvelous changes that Joseph Smith made to the Bible through the inspiration of God. What a wonderful compliation of not only the KJV text of the Bible, but also including the IV text to immediately see the impact of the various changes. This is a study guide that will be very useful when trying to understand the original meaning of the ...
  
  











  



  
Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics, Volume 153: Aberration-corrected microscopy (Advances in Imaging ...
Peter W. Hawkes

Academic Press, 2008

The invention of the electron microscope more than 70 years ago made it possible to visualize a new world, far smaller than anything that could be seen with the traditional microscope. The biologist could study viruses and the components of cells, the materials scientist could study the structure of metals and alloys and many other substances, and especially their defects. But even the electron microscope had limits, and truly atomic structure ...
  
  











  



  
Mrs. Jeffries Stands Corrected (Victorian Mystery)3 reviews
Emily Brightwell

Berkley, 1996

Loveable Mrs. Jeffries and Friends
As a previous reviewer mentioned, this series is "cozy" even if not always historically accurate. The Jeffries household is much like an adult version of the Baker Street Irregulars, but less intense so to speak. If you have had a bit of stress in you life, these are like watching an old '50's TV program that didn't add to your pre-existing stress.
  
  











  



  
Light's Manual: Intertidal Invertebrates of the Central California Coast: S. F. Light's Laboratory and Field ...2 reviews

University of California Press, 1975

New edition out soon
The much awaited new edition of this book should be out by the summer of 2007. The old edition's taxonomy has gotten rather dated. This new edition will be a must for serious marine biologists who want to identify California's wonderfully diverse marine invertebrate fauna.
