Excerpt from The Book Without a Name, Vol. 1 of 2 The reason for not giving a name to the follow ing papers, is simply that their authors had no name to give. The golden age of literature, when titles for books were plenty as blackberries, when publications were few, readers many, and authors (in the Horatian phrase) were things to point the finger atr - that golden age is passed and gone. Now, every one writes, few have leisure to read; and an unpreoccupied title is more difficult to be met with, than the industry which goes to write a volume, or the enterprize that undertakes to publish it.

Excerpt from The Book Without a Name, Vol. 2 of 2 Let it not, therefore, be imputed to the Chinese, that the more useless their wall became, through the inroads of time and of the Tartars, the more they held it in veneration and swore by it as a monu ment sacred to the wisdom of their ancestors. There is nothing so very un-european, or, what is worse still, so un-english, in this mode of ratiocination.

The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.

Excerpt from No Name, Vol. 1 of 3 The main purpose of this story is to appeal to the readers interest in a subject, which has been the theme of some of the greatest writers, living and dead - but which has never been, and can never be, exhausted, because it is a subject eternally interesting to all mankind. Here is one more book that depicts the struggle of a human creature, under those opposing influences of Good and Evil, which we have all felt, which we have all known. It has been my aim to make the character of "Magdalen," which personifies this struggle, a pathetic character even in its perversity and its error; and I have tried hard to attain this result by the least obtrusive and the least artificial of all means - by a resolute adherence, throughout, to the truth as it is in Nature.

In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.
