Oh. Wow. Are they, like, still in business?
Maybe I'm thinking of Boarders. It's been a hellofa long time since I stepped foot into a B&N though.
Two items? First suggestions, for the good of the board:
>>13855
1. The She-Devils by Pierre Louÿs.
2. Disagreeable Tales by Léon Bloy.
My personal suggestions:
1. United States: Essays 1952-1992 by Gore Vidal.
2. Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon.
For the lulz:
1. Storm and Echo by Frederic Prokosch. (Tongue in cheek shaggy retelling of Heart of Darkness by Conrad. It only really flies if you've already read HoD.)
2. Duluth by Gore Vidal. (Vidal strikes back at Pynchon specifically, and post-modernism in general, with this Alexander Pope inspired beatum stick.)
Fun from left field:
1. Any two non-pornographic furry SciFi novels by Paul Lucas.
