Book Video

On Google Video there is a clip that shows a whole series of book covers set to music. Interesting collection of books. The video is somewhat similar to this video on YouTube. Of the books shown is there one or two that you recommend? For each video how many of the books have you read?

    THE NAPOLEON OF NOTTING HILL
    In the first video there is a book shown called THE NAPOLEON OF NOTTING HILL.

    This book has a great opening paragraph:

    The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been
    playing at children’s games from the beginning, and will probably do
    it till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up.
    And one of the games to which it is most attached is called “Keep
    to-morrow dark,” and which is also named (by the rustics in
    Shropshire, I have no doubt) “Cheat the Prophet.” The players listen
    very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say
    about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait
    until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. They then go
    and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes,
    however, it is great fun.
