Antkind by film maker Charlie Kaufman, published 2020 July 7, is on sale today at amazon.com for $2.99 https://www.amazon.com/Antkind-Novel...dp/B07Y7J61HZ/

I haven't read it, and gather that around 20% hate it, but it has a lot of rave reviews from critics and readers. I like his movies and satire in general, so I'm going to git it a shot.

Hardcover list is $30 and selling price $20. The paperback comes out in January and amazon wants $35.05

The is the ebook from one source only - and today. Percentages may, of course, vary depending upon format and/or source.

I just bought it. (Well, yesterday. Thank you!). I have yet to start it, but I look forward to it. I may love it or hate it, but - like life - probably something between those notorious nasty binary opposites.

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read, and one of the most tragic -- unforgettable.

Today's Big Deal at Amazon UK is seven classic novels for children, at £0.99 each.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle
Stig of the Dump by Clive King and Edward Ardizzone
The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier and Jane Serraillier
Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley
The Complete Adventures of Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf by Catherine Storr

I can heartily recommend Stig of the Dump, and A Wrinkle in Time. I haven't read the others.
Farthing Wood is an amazing children's series!

Two great John Irving books are $1.99 apiece at Amazon US:

The Cider House Rules
Quote:
An American classic first published in 1985 by William Morrow and adapted into an Academy Award-winning film, The Cider House Rules is among John Irving's most beloved novels. Set in rural Maine in the first half of the twentieth century, it tells the story of Dr. Wilbur Larch—saint and obstetrician, founder and director of the orphanage in the town of St. Cloud's, ether addict and abortionist. It is also the story of Dr. Larch's favorite orphan, Homer Wells, who is never adopted.
A Prayer for Owen Meany
Quote:
A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick

I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice—not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany.

In the summer of 1953, two eleven-year-old boys—best friends—are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary.

Highly recommended if one likes stories with Dickensian sweep and involving stories.

If you've not read John Irving, you are really missing out. For starters, I'd recommend The World According to Garp or The Cider House Rules.

I've not yet read A Prayer for Owen Meany, but it was turned into a movie, Simon Birch that I really enjoyed.

Owen Meany is by far my favorite (I've read all his novels except his first two). I own a couple of physical copies and took advantage of this sale to get it for $2.

The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles is $1.99 at Amazon US.

Quote:
A beautiful paperback edition of a landmark of 20th Century literature, by acclaimed author Paul Bowles

In this classic work of psychological terror, Paul Bowles examines the ways in which Americans apprehend an alien culture--and the ways in which their incomprehension destroys them. The story of three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky is at once merciless and heartbreaking in its compassion. It etches the limits of human reason and intelligence--perhaps even the limits of human life --when they touch the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the dessert.
I left that misspelling at the end in on purpose. It was too fun an error to correct.
