|  | McKnight's Revenge by Hollie Van Horne
1871 meets1066 Matthew McKnight. My name`s Matt McKnight. I was a banker in 1871 Calhoun, Texas, until this time travel thing sent me back through time to 1066 England. Not to worry. Seems they need my help rescuing Jessie Callahan from certain death, educating outlaws in the fine art of warfare, killing a slew of pesky Vikings bent on swarming all over Stamford Bridge & in crushing some damn Norman invaders. It`ll be all right, though, because King Harold has me on his side. See, I`m a Rebel veteran of the War between the States & once I get the hang of this broadsword; I dare Norman to set foot on English soil! Jessie Callahan. As if shooting that thieving banker, feeling a hangman`s noose around my neck & having my ranch taken right out from under me weren`t enough; now I`ve traveled to 1066 England where the only one I know is that snake, Matt McKnight. This time travel thing does have its advantages, though. My new name`s Lady Gwynth & I have a whole staff of servants waiting on me hand & foot. Departure: June 1871 Calhoun, Texas E.T.A.: June 1066 A forest near Wainwright Castle, England. AUTHOR: Hollie Van Horne

 | Martin Chuzzelwit by Charles Dickens
Young Martin Chuzzlewit, a careless lad who is scorned by his tough and upright old grandfather, travels to America to seek his fortune. Dickens's satiric vision of America as a place full of criminals and disease alienated many of his American fans, but Martin survives his American ordeal and returns to England. He finds his grandfather in thrall to the evil Pecksniff and falls in love with Mary Graham. In the end, thanks to the wit of the wily old man and to Martin's inherent goodness, all is well: the evil are punished, the virtuous rewarded, and Dickens's usual wit and colorful cast of characters are much in evidence. Dickens pronounced MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT one of his favorites among his novels. AUTHOR: Charles Dickens

 | The Mysterious Flame by Colin McGinn
This title aims to dissect human consciousness and present it in terms the layperson can understand. The author, a Rutgers University philosophy professor, has spent several years studying the phenomenon of human consciousness and our inability to fully understand its nature. He proposes that unlike science--a form of intelligence the brain is able to grasp and understand--consciousness is far more mysterious and inaccessible to the mind. AUTHOR: Colin McGinn

 | The Dick Gibson Show by George Guidall, Stanley Elkin
Look who's on the Dick Gibson Radio Show : Arnold the Memory Expert ( I've memorized the entire West Coast shoreline - except for cloud cover and fog banks ). Bernie Perk, the burning pharmacist. Henry Harper, the nine-year old orphan millionaire, terrified of being adopted. The woman whose life revolves around pierced lobes. An evil hypnotist. Swindlers. Con-men. And Dick Gibson himself. Anticipating talk radio and its crazed hosts, Stanley Elkin creates a brilliant comic world held together by American manias and maniacs in all their forms, and a character who perfectly understands what Americans want and gives it to them.
