	Living with the Dead »rank: 1507 par: Kelley Armstrong		Survivor: A Novel »rank: 7401 par: Chuck Palahniuk Chroniques et points de vue:From :Some say that the apocalypse swiftly approacheth, but that simply ain't so according to Chuck Palahniuk. 0h no. lt's already here, living in the head of the guy who just crossed the street in front of you, or maybe even closer than that. We saw these possibilities get played out in the author's bloodsporting-anarchist-yuppie shocker of a first novel, Fight Club. Now, in Survivor, his second and newest, the concern is more for the origin of the malaise. Starting at chapter 47 and screaming toward ground zero, ...
	Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal »rank: 2795 par: Christopher Moore Chroniques et points de vue:From :While the Bible may be the word of God, transcribed by divinely inspired men, it does not provide a full (or even partial) account of the life of Jesus Christ. Lucky for us that Christopher Moore presents a funny, lighthearted satire of the life of Christ--from his childhood days up to his crucifixion--in Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. This clever novel is surely blasphemy to some, but to others it's a coming-of-age story of the highest order. Joshua (a.k.a. Jesus) knows he is ...		Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values »rank: 941 par: Robert M. Pirsig Chroniques et points de vue:From :Arguably one of the most profoundly important essays ever written on the nature and significance of 'quality' and definitely a necessary anodyne to the consequences of a modern world pathologically obsessed with quantity. Although set as a story of a cross-country trip on a motorcycle by a father and son, it is more nearly a journey through 2,000 years of Western philosophy. For some people, this has been a truly life-changing book.
	The Red Tent: A Novel »rank: 1951 par: Anita Diamant Chroniques et points de vue:From :The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within ...		Life of Pi »rank: 1620 par: Yann Martel Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Yann Martel's second novel, Life of Pi, appeared in Canada in 2001 to enthusiastic reviews and moderate sales. A year later, it came out of nowhere to win the Booker Prize and became an international publishing phenomenon (and Amazon.ca's first blockbuster). ln a wonderful display of storytelling verve, Martel takes a distinctly unpromising premise--a 'story that will make you believe in God' about a boy trapped on a lifeboat with an enormous tiger--and pulls it off with complete and winning confidence. Amazon.ca:Serious novels about young boys ...
