Einstein's Dreams from Warner Books Price: $9.56 Customer Review:  Mr. Lightman enlightens us with new perspective about the nature of time. He proposes various worlds in which time assumes uncoventional properties and then he hypothesizes about the shape of such universes.

Reunion : A Novel from Pantheon Price: $14.96 Customer Review:  I've read all of Lightman's previous novels but, except for Einstein's Dreams, I haven't been too impressed. I was tempted to skip this one. I'm glad I didn't. Reunion is the story of a college professor/poet named Charles who goes back to his thirtieth college reunion. While there, he experiences... |

Good Benito from Warner Books Price: $8.21 Customer Review: I don't agree with some of the reviewers below. I don't think this book was written with the intention to depict the main character, Bennett ("Good Benito"), as a rational man struggling with the irrational behavior in this world. I think it is about an obsessed, knowledge-seeker, curious and candid... |

The Best American Essays 2000 from Houghton Mifflin Price: $9.75 Customer Review:  This is the most disappointing collection of Best American Essays I have read in a decade. Most seemed included because they take a particular greeny-wishywashy-save the worldy point of view, not because they are outstandingly original or thoughtful meditations on their subjects. Some are... |
