A Man In Full |
Charlie Croker appears to be a very wealthy entrepreneur with everything a man can possibly desire: huge houses, private jets, second trophy wife...but he has huge debts and is about to lose everything, until a friend of the Mayor comes to him with a strange proposal to free him of his debt on a certain condition. I highly recommend reading this voluminous book about Atlanta and its rich people and politics. It's gripping.

I'm Charlotte Simmons, |
771 pages of pure delight. The perfect, thick book in which to immerse oneself when on holiday. Meet Charlotte Simmons - a very high I Q, a sheltered childhood in the small town of Sparta, North Carolina - and see how she struggles with the difficult process of growing up when she arrives at Dupont University on a full scholarship . . .
