› Find signed collectible books: 'Goodbye Green: How Extremists Stole the Environmental Movement from Moderate America and Killed It'Book summary:Not long ago it seems the whole country was working to clean up our air, land and water. Environmental bills were made into law, recycling swept the nation, politicians campaigned and won on environmental issues and school children were learning earth-saving songs and plays. What happened? Where did the environmental movement go? In Goodbye Green, Glen Duncan boldly declares the environmental movement dead, outlines exactely what happened and explains why throngs of middle Americans dropped out. He exercises his award-winning reporting skills once again to reveal how trade unions, civil rights groups, international environmental groups and even the federal government barged into a hugely successful grassroots movement and how their extermism then chased middle Americans away. Glen takes you along on a confrontational Greenpeace "action", gives you a peek into the "anti-earthday" held by extreme environmentalists fed-up with moderates within the movement and then leads you through the lawyers' boondoggle called Superfund. Hang on for a good, fast read that'll make you wary of giving any more of your money or your time to save the earth. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hope'Book summary:At once powerful, funny, and disturbing, Hope is a first novel about a young man's self-destructive obsession with pornography.
"A missive from the purgatory...Hope has the confessional, self-lacerating narrative style of Portnoy's Complaint>" -- The Times Literacy Supplement
"Infused with a caustic humor and a host of observations on freindship, pornography, and the moral malaise of a generation, Hope is this summer's essential first novel". -- (British) Esquire
Gabriel Jones could be your boyfriend, your husband, or even yourself -- he's an intelligent, charming, poetry-loving university graduate; he believes in love; he's capable of strong friendships -- and he's been seeing a gorgeous high-priced call girl who picked him up in a London cafe. He's also addicted to pornography. In fact, it's his attraction to pornography that causes the collapse of his relationship with the one woman he has ever loved.
Hope is a novel in the tradition of Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint, Nabokov's Lolita, and Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground -- confessional novels that have at their centers a hyperintelligent protagonist who seductively draws the reader into an illicit world. Why would a young, attractive man, who has found the woman of his dreams, turn to pornography? Why do men in general turn to pornography? Welcome to the world of Hope.
By turns disarmingly intelligent, hilariously funny, and deeply disturbing, Hope examines Gabriel Jones's numerous obsessions; love and friendship; behavior he recognizes as both ridiculous and self-destructive; and mortality. It signals the remarkable debut of a highly talented young writer. [via]
I, Luciferby Glen DuncanISBN 0743220129 (0-7432-2012-9)

› Find signed collectible books: 'I, Lucifer'Book summary:Glen Duncans I, Lucifer begins one steamy summer as some heavy negotiations are taking place in Heaven. God has decided to give Lucifer, the furthest-fallen of all fallen angels, a second chance. The Prince of Darkness can return to the fold, provided he manages to last one month on earth without sin. The human form chosen for this celestial experiment? A depressed novelist of little renown, currently contemplating suicide in his Clerkenwell garret.
Lucifer eagerly grasps the opportunity for a holiday on earth, and uses his hosts identity to re-write the story of Creation in a format that has Hollywood moguls kissing his feet. Its not popular with Him Upstairs, of course, what with the Devil being portrayed as a maverick free-thinker and God as a humourless autocrat. But Lucifers having too much fun to care. Hes experiencing the pleasures of the flesh for the first time and everything the odour of sweaty tube trains, cocaine, ice-cream, dirty sex--delights him. By the time the archangels are dispatched to bring him back, the Lord of all thats inhumane cant think of anything hed rather be than human.
Lucifer befogs his audience, alternately spitting fury at them like some sulphur-charged Dennis Leary and then insisting that hes a nice guy, just misunderstood. Whats clear, however, is that Glen Duncan is not merely one of those writers who can come up with amusing concepts. Hes a sharp, sometimes savage observer of the human condition, whose talents are as many as the legions of Hell.--Matthew Baylis [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Weathercock'Book summary:Funny, shocking, gripping, challenging, contemporary, eternal, on the side of both God and the Devil - the new novel by one of Britain's most talented and confronting young writers asks what stops us doing the worst thing there is. This is the confession of Dominic Francis Hood - Roman Catholic, sadist, conspirator to murder, witness to a miracle. Dominic's childhood had the usual cardinal points: the love of his family, a vague belief in God, a general curiosity, an emerging libido. But after he witnesses a miracle performed by Father Ignatius Malone, Dominic realises some part of him is skewed. Instead of becoming attracted to good, Dominic finds himself stimulated by the idea of other people's pain. And he knows that the mere fantasy will never be enough. WEATHERCOCK is the great modern moral inquiry, by one of England's brightest and most confronting young novelists. By turns hilarious, appalling, celebratory and sad, it is an investigation of profound temptations and those human weapons - sometimes formidable, sometimes frail - we bring to bear against them.
