Science fiction in the doses of short stories. These are haunting, beautiful, eerie.

I'm not much of a mixologist, but I found this book fascinating. It's important to know what your food is made out of, and booze isn't exactly self-explanatory. It makes me feel smart and knowledgeable when I read books like this.

A book of horse breeds, beautifully illustrated. We have horses in the family, and if I ever got enough money to support a hayburner I'd sure get one.

I love Sherlock Holmes--one of my first literary crushes (sorry Mr. Darcy, Holmes has you beat by a mile). It's so cool to read this book and see real-world techniques being applied.

I believe this was written by an actual butler. If I were ever go into the service industry at a mansion I'd grab this book to take along with me.

An incredibly valuable look into live at the other side of the barrier, in one of the most isolated and feared countries in the world.

Ooooh spooky! There's a little bit of the cryptozoologist in all of us. Who wouldn't want to believe that there's a monster in the water?

A great introduction to Russian literature for the school child. Hopefully reading this will make the novice less scared to read his more "classic" works.

I first saw the MGM Judy Garland musical of this, so I had a general idea of what the plot was... at least I thought I did. The book has considerably more sex and death in it. It got me emotionally invested in it, so it's a win for me, anyway.

This is the actual illustrated story of the ballet, and actually the first version of this I ever watched had the same costumes as the illustrations in this book.... it was so cool!
