Added (3rd November 2009)
Fiction

  • The Expositor's Bible Commentary (Volumes 2-12), Frank E. Gaebelein (Editor) - that's 11 books (covering Old and New Test.), each one almost the size of a phonebook. RM50 per book, RM500 for the full set. (No, I don't have Vol I, which is really an Introduction to the O.T.; the Genesis commentary is in Vol 2)

  • Divine Discourse : Philosophical Reflections on the Claim that God Speaks, Nicholas Wolsterstorff - RM30 [SOLD]

  • Thinks, David Lodge, RM10 (Lodge is a philosophy/lit. professor who turned to novel-writing for, I dunno, carthasis?)

  • Lord of the Silver Bow, David Gemmel (I'll throw this in FREE if you buy more than RM30 worth, otherwise it's RM8)

  • The Old Man & the Sea, Ernest Hemingway, RM10 (no no no...it's not about males having phallus-related difficulties...) [SOLD]

Non-Fiction (though one can never be sure...)
  • Paul Between Antioch & Damascus: The Unknown Years, Martin Hengel - RM40 (anymore "classic" and we'd have to excavate this...)

  • The Scripture Principle, Clark Pinnock (the original hardcover!), RM20

  • Consciousness and the Novel, David Lodge (where the novelist goes all in-teh-LEC-tual...), RM20

  • Jesus the Millenarian Prophet, Dale Allison, RM20

  • Europe's Last Summer: Who Started the Great War in 1914? David Fromkin, RM30 (if you're an enthusiast of World War I and you have not read this, then you're a traitor to the cause, *grin*)
