Summary
Joe Aronica and his cronies-a constant foursome at a Connecticut country club-are invited to take a golf vacation in Scotland, a trip that turns into a gambling hustle masterminded by the formidable Eddie Caminetti, who appeared in McAllister's previous novel, THE GREEN. As the stakes rise, the tensions among the foursome threaten to be more destructive than all Caminetti's machinations.

The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest
by Po Bronson
Andy Caspar is a Silicon Valley research engineer who wants to become an "ironman"--the kind of guy who builds companies that change the world, like Apple, Netscape, Intel.

Apprentice To The Flower Poet Z
by Debra Weinstein
Bloomed (and lingered in my thoughts) like A Basho haiku - Allen Kurzweil , author of The Grand Complication “ Apprentice to the Flower Poet Z. is an extremely funny and touching look at the high-stakes, low-paying world of poetry. Debra Weinstein has plenty to say about protégés and mentors, and art and ambition. I thoroughly enjoyed this book." - Meg Wolitzer
The Luck of Barry Lyndon
by William Makepeace Thackeray
The Thackeray Edition is the first full-scale scholarly edition of William Makepeace Thackeray's works to appear in over seventy years, and the only one ever to be based on an examination of manuscripts and relevant printed texts. It is also a concrete attempt to put into practice a theory of scholarly editing that gives new insight into Thackeray's own compositional process. Written in 1839-40 for Fraser's Magazine, Catherine was Thackeray's first novel. Although originally intended as a spoof of the 1830s Newgate school of criminal romance, it has intrinsic merit of its own for its cynical narrator and roguish heroine, both of whom harbinger similar creations in Vanity Fair eight years later. The Luck of Barry Lyndon, serialized in Fraser's Magazine in 1844, is a wonderfully hard-edged advance upon Thackeray's previous writing: a tour de force dramatization at novelistic length of the moral vacuity of its first person narrator. The inner workings of this narrator are far more complicated than in earlier Thackeray writings, and are presented in a far more subtle, yet not humorless, manner. The mock-Bildungsroman aspect of the novel is brought about by the non-enlightenment of the rifle-figure, his failure to find a meaningful love-relationship, and his inability to discover a calling that identifies both a significant direction for his individual existence and, at the same time, an appropriate accommodation to his duties to society. Achieved in brilliant, accomplished style, Barry Lyndon is a significant and progressive experiment in narration for Thackeray.
Brothers No More
by William F. Buckley
Who is the more moral man: the one whose courage failed in battle but who then led a noble life, or the one who valiantly covered for his companion-in-arms's error yet went forward to lead a life of opportunism and betrayal? Threading its way through some of the most significant events in modern U.S. history, this ethical thriller about honor, frailty, and faith "aspires to genuine greatness" (Washington Post). "What spins the book forward into an irresistible page -turner," the Washington Times wrote, "is the author's skillful blend of fact and fiction--the same mix he used to such perfection in his spy novels." Buckley's host of characters includes real-world presidential candidates, mayors, novelists, Time editor Richard Clurman, and even the author himself.
