Myth and Folklore
Troy by
Stephen Fry. Fantastic retelling of the
story of Troy.
Poetry
Complete Poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar by Paul
Lawrence Dunber (Mint Editions). – Nice
compact and complete collection. The
nature poetry is good and I didn’t know Dunbar could be so snarky.
Children’s
I am A Clone Trooper – Little Golden Book. Cute.
Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba AND Idia of
the Benin Kingdom both by Ekiuwa Aire – These two children’s books about
famous women in two African kingdoms are well worthy reading. They also include appendices.

No Stone Unturned by Steve Jackson. History of the science of looking for dead
bodies.

and Wedge.

Resnick. You will never look at a visit
to Santa the same way.

Nouwen – more people who call themselves Christian should read this.
