Anthony Burgess - The Complete Enderby The Complete Enderby : Inside Mr. Enderby, Enderby Outside, the Clockwork Testament, Enderby's Dark Lady
"Inside Mr. Enderby," is wonderful and off beat. "Enderby Outside,"
follows the off kilter story of Enderby and the absurdity that is his
life. "The Clockwork Testament," as the title would suggest, has
shadings of Burgess' very well known book, "Clockwork Orange." The
"Testament," is surreal and twisted while funny at the same time. The
final story, "Enderby's Dark Lady," is wonderful and surprising to the
reader with value not only for fans of the dyspeptic poet but lovers of
Shakespeare as well.
While slightly dated, these stories have a bite to them that
speaks volumes of truth for anyone who has been an academic, a
professional writer or just a little bit out of touch with the world
around them. Enderby is often misunderstood and though he makes his
living in a "communication" field, he has a lot of trouble getting his
point across to others.
Not only are these books funny, but as is often the case with
Burgess, the satire is thinly veiled and pointing at both society and
himself.

Complete Short Stories by Agatha Christie Short stories by Agatha Christie have been published in many collections, lots of them duplicating each other. For example, The Harlequin Tea Set contains almost all the same stories as While the Light Lasts. But a little sorting out has revealed that there are just 15 collections that comprise ALL short stories by Agatha Christie without any omission or duplicating.

Even complete idiots can get great jobs--just look at all the middle managers out there! The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume
by longtime rйsumй expert Susan Ireland will help you find and take the
perfect job. Even if you've been off the market for a while, been fired
recently, or are just starting out from school, you can package
yourself so irresistibly that you'll be working in no time. The first
section helps you devise a strategy for your hunt, including giving
yourself moral support, finding your strengths, and selling yourself in
two pages. Next we learn how to polish and refine a rйsumй until it
describes you working in your future dream job (not you working in your
dreary jobs of the past). Notes on special rйsumйs for academics and
others, cover letters that scream for attention, and a large section on
using e-mail and the Web to broaden your search are significant
advantages of The Complete Idiot's Guide over other rйsumй
books, and the samples provided are sure to inspire greatness. The
blend of written and visual learning helps move the reader along from
point to point quickly and easily, and the liberal helpings of
sidebars, tips, and hints make the dreaded job search almost fun. Even
if you're not management material, you'll find The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume a big help and well worth the small investment. --Rob Lightner
