The Nicomachean Ethics
The work consists of ten books, originally separate scrolls, and is understood to be based on notes said to be from his lectures at the Lyceum which were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus. In many ways this work parallels the similar Eudemian Ethics, which has only eight books, and the two works can be fruitfully compared. Books V, VI, and VII of the Nicomachean Ethics are identical to Books IV, V, and VI of the Eudemian Ethics.

The Wise Woman
The Wise Woman is a parable or fairy tale written by George MacDonald, and is one of his better known works. This delightful story describes the activities of a "good witch" in developing the virtuous characters of two young girls: one of whom responds positively, the other negatively. In this story, MacDonald uses the character of the witch to convey how God pursues persons from all backgrounds, and how only He can enable them to embrace virtuous living. (Summary by Godsend)
A prequel of sorts to Sands's paranormal comedy, Single White Vampire, this lightweight romantic romp shoots for the easy laugh and often misses. The allure of vampires lies in their strength and seeming invulnerability, but Etienne Argeneau, this book's bloodsucking hero, is curiously incompetent when it comes to dispatching a crazed mortal named Pudge who's intent on lopping his head off. Twice, Pudge manages to injure Etienne to the point where he ends up in the morgue under coroner Rachel Garrett's care.
