The Castle of Otranto

Author	Horace Walpole

First published pseudonymously in 1764, The Castle of Otranto purported to be a translation of an Italian story of the time of the crusades.

Author	C.S. Lewis
ISBN	0521477352

To me, this might be C. S. Lewis' best book. I will have to cop to not really liking the Narnia books (too allegorical and those British schoolchildren are pretty annoying), and while I do quite like his "Space Trilogy" I think that Lewis was much better as a writer of academic non-fiction than he was as a...

The Driver's Seat

Author	Muriel Spark

Was it murder or was it suicide? And did that matter to the 'heroine'? This is a novella, a quick read and perhaps one that is better read at one sitting so that the tension can build.
