Sometimes
you just don't feel like throwing down $20 for a book…therein lies
the beauty of the paperback.
Of
course, there are certain downsides to the paperback --- like their
considerably shorter shelf life (ha! get it?); the new, shockingly
lame and embarrassing covers they give books that have recently
been made into movies; or, worse yet, the Oprah Book Club insignia
seared onto the covers of formerly cool books --- but on the whole,
paperbacks are a godsend to those of us who look at a $20 bill and
think: lunch for a week.
So,
in celebration of the sorely undervalued softcover, Bookreporter.com
has put together an exhaustive and eclectic list of titles that
are new (and newish) in paperback.
