1.		Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis from Bloomsbury USA Price: $13.59 Customer Review: In a strange sort of way, Kingsley Amis does for drink what Anthony Bourdain does for food: with enormous humor and joy in life, both authors just say "go for it." It is probably no coincidence that they both loathe vegetarians, especially vegans. I am not particularly sure that Amis is utterly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $8.95 Customer Review: To this point in my life, I've now read three works by Chesterton: his epic poem The Ballad of the White Horse and his biography of Saint Thomas Aquinas. The Man Who Was Thursday is a completely different work from the abovementioned pair. It is subtitled "A Nightmare" and that's exactly how it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Lucky Jim (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Jim Dixon is in his first year as a college lecturer and he's been in trouble nearly from the second he arrived...unfortunately, since he's also on probation, he's panicking a great deal that he'll lose his job. He despises his boss - an elderly, absent minded and rather self important gentleman... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Lucky Jim from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: because, most likely, it will provoke loud screams of laughter and you'll embarrass yourself. Lucky Jim is the story of Jim Dixon, a lowly lecturer at an English university. In order to keep his job, he must suck up to the fabulously annoying professor, Ned Welch. He's also saddled with an annoying... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		James Bond: Colonel Sun (James Bond) from Titan Books Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Nothing in the Amazon descriptions said this was a collection of comic strips from the newspaper. I was expecting the novel by Kinglsey Amis. All the others in the series (I now see) say "graphic novel" in their title.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Lucky Jim (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $13.37 Customer Review: I think you simply have to be an academic to fully enjoy the comedy of Lucky Jim. Not that the jokes lost any of their flair over last half a century, Jim's misfortunes have a slapstick quality to them which can be funny even in Elizabethan comedies. Their full quality, however, is visible only to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Take a Girl Like You from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: Kingsley Amis opened his career with the novel that remained his most famous work to the end of his life: Lucky Jim. His next two novels were generally regarded as disappointments, at least relative to Lucky Jim. It is with his fourth novel, Take a Girl Like You, that Amis again hit his stride. This... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Green Man from Academy Chicago Publishers Customer Review: Kingsley Amis's 'The Green Man' is an interesting mix of horror and satire. Maurice Allington is the alcoholic owner of The Green Man Inn, whose main preoccupation is trying to convince his wife and mistress to have a menage a trois. The Green Man Inn dates back several centuries and is reputed to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The King's English : A Guide to Modern Usage from St. Martin's Griffin Customer Review: Amis on language use can be infuriating. In reading through his usage notes, I found myself swinging from a fist-pumping "YES!" to gleeful snickers to an appalled "Say what?!" The author was the product of a classical education in the 1930s, which he explains as the basis of some of his preferences,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.	[no image]	Old Devils: A Novel from Harpercollins Customer Review: Kingsley Amis was into his 60's when this book appeared, I am almost out of mine by now so I thought it was time I read it, and I am very pleased that I have. If you know Amis's style you will find this novel very typical of it. If you don't know his style it is still very typical of it. It is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
