Build Blocks of a Formidable Home Library

Last Exit to Brooklyn

By Hubert Selby

The decadence and violence of the urban streets is graphically portrayed in this novel set in a post-WWII Brooklyn slum.

Vurt

By Jeff Noon

A cyberpunk novel with a difference, a rollicking, dark, yet humorous examination of a future in which the boundaries between reality and virtual reality are as tenuous as the brush of a feather.

The Color Purple

By Alice Walker

Set in the period between the world wars, this novel tells of two sisters, their trials, and their survival.

As the fierce lovemaking and fights of Nathan, a paranoid Jewish intellectual, and Sophie, a Polish-Catholic concentration-camp survivor, intensify, Stingo, a writer who lives below them in a cheap rooming house, becomes more and more involved in their lives.
