We have a bumper crop of remainders coming in at Red Hill! Here's a sampling of my favorites:
1.The City of Saints and Madmen, by Jeff Vandermeer ($4.98): Phantasmagoric and wildly inventive, this novel will forever change the way you think about squid, fungi, and the life and death of cities.
2.Birds of America, by Lorrie Moore ($5.98): This collection of hilarious, poignant short stories is the perfect antidote to rainy-day ennui.

Summer of Great Remainders
July 21, 2010, 12:00 am

Red Hill has been able to snag some fabulous books by famous authors at recessionary prices. We're salivating as we unpack those boxes blocking the aisles -- hey, we love books, and really love these deals. We're Gaga for Gogol. Nuts over Nabokov. Dotty for Don Quixote. Rabid about Rushdie. The quality and selection is amazing. Don't think it's all Serious Literature -- we have history, psychology, lots of fun titles, and children's books too.

The End of an Era: Goodbye to Patrick & His Wonderful Storytime!
April 14, 2010, 12:00 am
We at Red Hill are very sad to report that Patrick will no longer be doing his beloved children's storytime at the store. Patrick has been a part of the Red Hill family for four years; it has been a joy to work with him and watch his amazing development as an educator and entertainer of young children.
We wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors, and are so glad to have hosted such a great run!

The Changeling by Kenaburo Oe

The Nobel Prize-winning Japanese author is back with another dazzlingly epic novel. In pure Oe style he doesn't limit himself to single idioms or genres and his new novel is a deft mingling of humor, intellect, absurdity, and the hectic vertigo of modern life. It might remind you of a gorgeous train wreck between Maurice Sendak and Saul Bellow, with Arthur Rimbaud at the helm.

Silk Parachute by John McPhee

The prolific and boundless essayist John McPhee is back with what might be his most personal collection of essays in nearly four decades. With his signature probing levity McPhee spans everything from lacrosse to the sea cliffs of England, from the U.S. Open to the French Champagne country. In a slightly different turn, he explains throughout why each subject interested him the first place, thus informing the variety of subjects with a charming personal touch.

Confession Of A Buddhist Atheist by Stephen Batchelor

With a praising blurb from notorious atheist Christopher Hitchens, this book is sure to stir the pot of controversy surrounding religion and rationality. Batchelor, a former Tibetan Buddhist monk, reexamines the words of the historical Buddha in an attempt to rescue them from overzealous focus on karma, religiosity and the afterlife. Buddhism, he eventually argues, is more about how to live in the here and now and to accept all the joys and tribulations of mortal life.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

The Lost City Of Z by David Grann
Now in paperback, this is the irresistible true story of the English adventurer Percy Fawcett's attempt to track down the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. Pitted against the unfathomable obstacles of the Amazon jungle, Fawcett's tale, as beautifully told by Grann, is about the essential confrontation between humans and the natural world, between wild desire and fatal destiny.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, by Daniel Pink
Pink, the author of the perennially best-selling A Whole New Mind is back with a new book that looks at the disconnect between what science tells us about human motivation and what actually happens in business, and how that disconnect informs every aspect of our lives.
