《使女的故事》描写的最远时间距小说写作时间二百多年，以几名历史学家的发现，让一位在基列不幸沦为“使女”、后来侥幸逃出的女性，通过录在磁带里的声音，向读者讲述发生在那个时间之前的故事，即主人公在未来21世纪初的亲身经历，其间夹杂着大量主人公对20世纪80年代生活的回忆与反思。

第七十一本：《The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks 》
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Born a poor black tobacco farmer, her cancer cells - taken without her knowledge - became a multimillion-dollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. Yet Henrietta's family did not learn of her 'immortality' until more than twenty years after her death, with devastating consequences ...Balancing the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who owns the stuff our bodies are made of, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" is an extraordinary journey in search of the soul and story of a real woman, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world. "A fascinating, harrowing, necessary book". (Hilary Mantel, "Guardian"). "A heartbreaking account of racism and injustice". ("Metro"). "A fine book...a gripping read...The book has deservedly been a huge bestseller in the US. It should be here, too". ("Sunday Times").
第七十二本：《The Liars’ Club: A Memoir》
When it was published in 1995, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club took the world by storm and raised the art of the memoir to an entirely new level, as well as bringing about a dramatic revival of the form. Karr’s comic childhood in an east Texas oil town brings us characters as darkly hilarious as any of J. D. Salinger’s—a hard-drinking daddy, a sister who can talk down the sheriff at twelve, and an oft-married mother whose accumulated secrets threaten to destroy them all. Now with a new introduction that discusses her memoir’s impact on her family, this unsentimental and profoundly moving account of an apocalyptic childhood is as "funny, lively, and un-put-downable" ( USA Today ) today as it ever was.

《小王子》不仅赢得了儿童读者，也为成年人所喜爱，作品凝练的语言渗透了作者对人类及人类文明深邃的思索。它所表现出的讽刺与幻想，真情与哲理，使之成为法国乃至世界上最为著名的一部童话小说。

第七十八本：《The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat: And Other Clinical Tales 》
In his most extraordinary book, "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century" (The New York Times) recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of inpiduals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine's ultimate responsibility: "the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject."

第八十一本：《The Poisonwood Bible ：A Novel》
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959.

The Right Stuff. It's the quality beyond bravery, beyond courage. It's men like Chuck Yeager, the greatest test pilot of all and the fastest man on earth. Pete Conrad, who almost laughed himself out of the running. Gus Grissom, who almost lost it when his capsule sank. John Glenn, the only space traveler whose apple-pie image wasn't a lie.

第八十七本：《局外人》
《局外人》(L'?tranger)是加缪的成名作，也是存在主义文学的代表作品。《局外人》形象地体现了存在主义哲学关于“荒谬”的观念;由于人和世界的分离，世界对于人来说是荒诞的、毫无意义的，而人对荒诞的世界无能为力，因此不抱任何希望，对一切事物都无动于衷。

第九十三本：《The World According to Garp》
The World According to Garp is a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. A worldwide bestseller since its publication in 1978, Irving's classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, novelist and bastard son of Jenny Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her time. Beyond that, The World According to Garp virtually defies synopsis.
----"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it," said critic Terrence Des Pres. "Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost blasphemous. . . . Friendship, marriage and family are his primary themes, but at that blundering level of life where mishap and folly--something close to joyful malice--perpetually intrude and disrupt, often fatally. Life, in Irving's fiction, is always under siege." Time magazine commented: "Irving's popularity is not hard to understand. His world is really the world according to nearly everyone."
----This Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by the author.
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editons of impor-tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoringas its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.
第九十四本：《The Year of Magical Thinking 》
From one of America’s iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Joan Didion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage–and a life, in good times and bad–that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child.
Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill with what seemed at first flu, then pneumonia, then complete septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later–the night before New Year’s Eve–the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to relieve a massive hematoma.
This powerful book is Didion’s attempt to make sense of the “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . . . about marriage and children and memory . . . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.”
第九十五本：《Things Fall Apart 》
THINGS FALL APART tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around Okonkwo, a “strong man” of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first of these stories traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives, and in its classical purity of line and economical beauty it provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the inpidual and society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, and which elevates the book to a tragic plane, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized, and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. THINGS FALL APART is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within.

——哈珀?柯林斯出版集团
斯塔尔六月对北卡罗来纳州律师协会发表演说时，自比为《杀死一只知更鸟》中勇敢的南方白人律师阿蒂克斯?芬奇。斯塔尔凭着他的道德优越感，不把规则、秩序和正直放在眼里，这样一个人居然自比为芬奇，实在令我和比尔难以忍受。
——希拉里?克林顿
年轻时看过《梅岗城故事》(即《杀死一只知更鸟》)，对片中法律人为弱势者争取权益奋斗，为恶法非法或恶法亦法辩论的故事感到澎湃不已，更加确定要成为法律人的心愿。

第九十七本：《坚不可摧》
《坚不可摧》是一部二战题材的励志小说，被誉为“感动整个美国的励志巨著”，
主人公赞贝里尼的故事激励着无数人战胜苦难，重燃生活的希望。
作者历时7年，对主人公路易?赞贝里尼进行了75次采访，大量翻阅资料，还原了一段尘封85年之久的记忆。

★被俘后，先后被辗转关押在4座日军战俘营里，熬过了身心备受折磨的700多个日日夜夜。

整个故事反映了二战太平洋战争期间及前后个人命运的起伏跌荡，感悟生存、反抗、救赎与尊严的心路历程，故事情节曲折生动，具有哲理性和趣味性，紧扣人心。故事像鲁宾逊漂流记，主人公经历又有点像老布什，同时在太平洋战争中被日军机击落，被救起，只是他没有老布什幸运，没有成为战争英雄而成了战俘，从中却体验到了常人不能体验到的人生经历。这些都是喜欢战争题材读者最爱关注的兴趣点，特别是喜欢猎奇冒险或心理探索的读者们。
第九十八本：《Valley of the Dolls 》
The exploits and excesses of three pill-popping showbiz heroines: Anne, the smalltown girl supposedly modelled on Grace Kelly, who captivates a millionaire but falls for an English cad; Jennifer, the beautiful Marilyn Monroe clone who possesses everything - except immortality; and Neely, the ruthless Judy Garlandesque understudy-turned-superstar. As friends - and enemies - they learn the hard way that fame, fortune, beauty and stardom don't always equal happiness. Jacqueline Susann's sensational novel staked her claim as a pop pioneer, perfectly crystallized the decadence of the 1960s - and ushered in a whole new genre of mass-market fiction.
第九十九本：《Where the Sidewalk Ends 》
If you are a dreamer, come in, If you are a dreamer, A wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, A magic bean buyer ...Come in ...for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. You'll meet a boy who turns into a TV set, and a girl who eats a whale. The Unicorn and the Bloath live there, and so does Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who will not take the garbage out. It is a place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place where shoes fly, sisters are auctioned off, and crocodiles go to the dentist.
