1. The Library at Night The Library at Night
from Yale University Press
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
The Library At Night is the first book I have read by Alberto Manguel. I can say now, after completing it earlier today, that I am looking forward to reading other selections that this author has written.
I was not quite sure what to expect from this book, from simply reading the title. I could... more info

2. A History of Reading A History of Reading
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
Book titles can be misleading because they work under the assumption that hundreds of pages can be summed up in a handful of words. That is why many titles try not so much to be precise as to be approximate, and not so much to be approximate as to be memorable. Alberto Manguel's A History of Reading... more info

4. The Dictionary of Imaginary Places: The Newly Updated and Expanded Classic The Dictionary of Imaginary Places: The Newly Updated and Expanded Classic
from Harcourt
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
This is a beautiful and valuable book, exhaustive and informative. The dictionary's subject matter in itself is of course quite lovely. There's always a chance that a reference might be missing but for each one that's missing you'll certainly find a dozen others that even your wildest imagination... more info

5. Homer s the Iliad and the Odyssey: A Biography (Books That Changed the World) Homer's the Iliad and the Odyssey: A Biography (Books That Changed the World)
from Atlantic Monthly Press
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Alberto Manguel's latest volume does not contain the text of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Instead, It is a "biography" in the sense of being a commentary on how Homer's works have been translated, interpreted, adapted, vilified, and lauded for more than 2,500 years.
Homer's Iliad and Odyssey,... more info

7. With Borges With Borges
from Telegram Books
Price: $9.56

Customer Review:
This is a book you can easily devour in one sitting (about an hour and a half should do it), especially if you know and love the writings of Jorge Luis Borges the way I do. The author, Alberto Manguel, was a bookstore clerk that Borges enlisted to read out loud to him, being himself blind. For... more info

8. The Secret Supper: A Novel The Secret Supper: A Novel
from Washington Square Press
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
I found the beginning of the book interesting as it set the stage for symbolism and secret messages that were common in the 1400's but not part of our thinking in the 21st century. Then, the author proceeds to produce a plot based on this premise - much of which is subsequently lost on the modern... more info

9. [no image] Unreasonable Hours (Passport Books (Series).)
from Coach House Press

Customer Review:
For this tiny volume of stories, I feel most of all a frequent hunger to reread. This collection provides a fine introduction to Cortazar's writing, for those who do not want to dive into Hopscotch or The Blow-Up without evidence of the author's skill to turn tales. There are two stories in this... more info

10. The City of Words (CBC Massey Lecture) The City of Words (CBC Massey Lecture)
from House of Anansi Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I am reading this book for the second time: there was too much for me to consider and integrate on one reading. Alberto Manguel looks at the rise of violent intolerance in our societies. As part of this, he invites the reader to look at what is written (by visionaries, poets, novelists and... more info
