The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe

wfzimmerman's review: "I don't know if this has met the test of time. [A MAN IN FULL] certainly hasn't."
Bantam (1988), Paperback, 704 pages

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

wfzimmerman's review: "An incredible tour de force. Unfortunately, this was a high water mark for Stephenson. His subsequent books have strayed into territory that I found more difficult to digest."
Eos (1999), Hardcover, 928 pages

Economics for a Civilized Society by Greg Davidson, Paul Davidson

wfzimmerman's review: "The first edition of my friend's excellent and important book."
W W Norton & Co Inc (1988), Hardcover, 213 pages

Into the Thinking Kingdoms (Journeys of the Catechist/Alan Dean Foster, Bk 2) by Alan Dean Foster

wfzimmerman's review: "This Catechist series was pretty darned good, but I am leaning towards getting rid of all my Foster except for the Commonwealth & Flinx books. Not that Foster's other universes aren't good, he just is too prolific for me to try to collect his entire works, given my limited shelf space! Deaccessioned."

Memory, A Miles Vorkosigan Adventure by Lois McMaster Bujold

wfzimmerman's review: "Perhaps the very best of Bujold's unexcelled Vorkosigan series. I hope she doesn't keep writing these silly romantic fantasies (THE SHARING KNIFE) and comes back to Vorkosigan series for more than just one book."
Baen (1996), Hardcover

wfzimmerman's review: "Made into at least two movies, MR. BLANDINGS ... and THE MONEY PIT."
Simon and Schuster (1946), Hardcover

I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression by Terrence Real

wfzimmerman's review: "I don't want to write a review about it. But it does deal with a serious and potentially crippling health problem."
Scribner (1998), Paperback, 384 pages

Brightness Reef (Bantam Spectra Book) by David Brin

wfzimmerman's review: "The title brings back the feeling of exuberant optimism that Brin fans felt at the beginning of this series, which, sadly, fizzled out into something of a disappointment as this trilogy ended up circling around a galactic sump hole, both literally and metaphorically."
Spectra (1995), Hardcover, 514 pages

Life Its Ownself: The Semi-Tougher Adventures of Billy Clyde Puckett and Them by Dan Jenkins

wfzimmerman's review: "This book and [SEMI-TOUGH] are still enjoyable reads. Classics in the rather small genre of funny football novels. I'd like to have firsts of both of these."
Signet (1985), Paperback

Economics for a Civilized Society by Greg Davidson, Paul Davidson

wfzimmerman's review: "Book written by a longtime friend from Swarthmore. I'm mentioned in the acknowledgements. Questions the basic assumptions of econometric man."
M.E. Sharpe (1996), Hardcover, 229 pages

The Cursed by Dave Duncan

wfzimmerman's review: "A pretty terrific stand-alone book by the always reliable Duncan. Unfortunately, as the social info shows, this one didn't really sell all that well. People like series."
Del Rey (1995), Hardcover, 436 pages
