I am in Pohang (about 4-5 hours south of Seoul) and don't have a problem going to the post office as most of the items have original boxes. I don't think shipping should be too much on anything. Although, I don't know about how to ship the large painting. Everything is less than 2 years old and in good condition. E-mail [email protected] or PM me if you have any questions or need more info. Happy holidays

I forgot about all these books as well - this is from an older post. The buyer never came through, so they are all still available.

Books must be shipped unless you live in or around Pohang.

6,000 per book includes shipping. If you buy more than one, 4,000 per book plus shipping. (Price is flexible if you buy many)

The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold:
Clair and Helen Knightly are a parent and child locked in a relationship so unrelenting that they have become the center of each other's world. But as this electrifying novel opens, Helen crosses a boundary she never thought she would approach.
Over the next 24 hours, Helen's life rushes in at her as she is forced to confront the choices that have brought her to this crossroads. As a woman who spent years trying to win the love of someone who had none to spare, she now faces an uncertain and dangerous freedom.
Exploring the complex ties within families, the meaning of devotion, and the thin line that separates us from our most haunting impulses, The Almost Moon is an unforgettable tale of passion and redemption written with the fierce intelligence and emotional intensity that only Alice Sebold can bring to the page.

False Memory by Dean Koontz
It's a fear more paralyzing than falling. More terrifying than absolute darkness. More horrifying than anything you can imagine. It's the one fear that you cannot escape, no matter where you run ... no matter where you hide. It's the fear of yourself. It's real. It can happen to you. And facing it can be deadly. Fear for your mind.

Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler
Baltimore woman disappears during family vacation declares the headline. Forty-year-old Delia Grinstead was last seen strolling down the Delaware shore, wearing nothing more than a bathing suit and carrying a beach tote with five hundred dollars tucked inside. To her husband and three almost-grown children, she has vanished without trace or reason. But for Delia, who has long felt like a tiny gnat buzzing around her family's edges, "walking away from it all" was not a premeditated act but an impulse that will lead her into a new, exciting, and previously unimagined life.

The Emperor�s Children by Claire Messud:
The Emperor's Children is a richly drawn, brilliantly observed novel of fate and fortune -- about the intersections in the lives of three friends, now on the cusp of their thirties, making their way -- and not -- in New York City. In this tour de force, celebrated author Claire Messud brings to live a city, a generation, and the way we live in this moment.

Vinegar Hill by A. Manette Ansay:
In a stark, troubling, yet ultimately triumphant celebration of self-determination, award-winning author A. manette Ansay re-creates a stifling world of guilt and pain, and the tormented souls who inhabit it. It is 1972 when circumstance carries Ellen Grier and her family back to Holly's Field, Wisconsin. Dutifully accompanying her newly unemployed husband, Ellen has brought her two children into the home of her in-laws on Vinegar Hill -- a loveless house suffused with the settling dust of bitterness and routine -- when calculated cruelty is a way of life preserved and perpetuated in the service of a rigid, exacting, and angry God. Behind a facade of false piety, there are sins and secrets in this place that could crush a vibrant young woman's passionate spirit. And here Ellen must find the strength to endure, change, and grow in the all-pervading darkness that threatens to destroy everything she is and everyone she loves.

Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert:
In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want -- husband, country home, successful career -- but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and of what she found in their place. Following a divorce and a crushing depression, Gilbert set out to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.

The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs:
Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects -- and share the stories of their lives...

At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop's owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends -- Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and K.C. -- exchange knitting tips, jokes, and the deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia's heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her world is shattered.

Luckily, Georgia's friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they've created isn't just a knitting club: it's a sisterhood.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley:
Originally published in 1932, Aldous Huxley's astonishing literary tour de force, Brave New World, is widely considered one of the most startling, provocative, and prescient novels ever written. A darkly satire vision of a "utopian" future -- where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order; where war and disease have been obliterated at the cost of individuality, art, family, and live -- it has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. A powerful work of speculative fiction, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow, and a breathtaking, thought-provoking, and supremely satisfying entertainment.

20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth by Xiaolu Guo: Life as a film extra in Beijing might seem hard, but Fenfang -- the spirited heroine of Xiaolu Guo's new novel -- won't be defeated. She has travelled 1,800 miles to seek her fortune in the city, and has no desire to return to the never-ending sweet potato fields back home. Determined to live a modern life, Fenfang works as a cleaner in the Young Pioneer's movie theater, falls in love with unsuitable men and keeps her kitchen cupboard stocked with UFO instant noodles. As Fenfang might say, Heavenly Bastard in the Sky, isn't it about time I got my lucky break?

The Great Railway Bazaar by Train Through Asia by Paul Theroux:
First published more than thirty years ago, Paul Theroux's strange, unique, and hugely entertaining railway odyssey has become a modern classic of travel literature. Here Theroux recounts his early adventures on an unusual grand continental tour. Asia's fabled trains -- the Orient Express, the Khyber Pass Local, the Frontier Mail, the Golden Arrow to Kuala Lampur, the Mandalay Express, the Trans-Siberian Express -- are the stars of a journey that takes him on a loop eastbound from London's Victoria Station to Tokyo Central, then back from Japan on the Trans-Siberian. Brimming with Theroux's signature humor and wry observations, this engrossing chronicle is essential reading for both the ardent adventurer and the armchair traveler.

Deceit by Clare Francis (no front cover): Harry Richmond -- ambitious businessman and failed politician -- is missing at sea, presumed dead. Ellen, his wife, emerges from her grief to discover that the Harry she knew and loved had many secrets -- secrets which threaten to undermine everything that Ellen holds dear.
Was Harry's death a simple accident? The enigmatic Moreland enters Ellen's life and tries to uncover the truth. But it is a truth that at least one person would prefer left undisturbed. For in matters of deceit, some victims are more innocent that others...

Over the Edge by Jonathan Kellerman


Ashworth Hall by Amy Perry: (cover written on)
When a group of powerful Irish Protestants and Catholics gather at a country house to discuss Irish home rule, contention is to be expected. But when the meeting's moderator, government bigwig Ainsley Greville, is found murdered in his bath, negotiations seem doomed.
Unless Superintendent Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, can root out the truth, simmering hatreds and passions may again explode in murder.

Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis
Narnia ... the land between the lamp-post and the castle of Cair Paravel, where animals talk, where magical things happen... and where the adventure begins.
Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are returning to boarding school when they are summoned from the dreary train station (by Susan's own magic horn) to return to the land of Narnia -- the land where they had ruled as kings and queens and where their help is desperately needed.

State of the Union by Douglas Kennedy
American in the sixties was an era of radical upheaval -- of civil rights protests and anti-war marches; of sexual liberation and hallucinogenic drugs. More tellingly, it was a time when you weren't supposed to trust anyone over the age of thirty; when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents and their conservative values.

But not Hannah Buchan.

Hannah is a great disappointment to her famous radical father and painter mother. Instead of mounting the barricades and embracing this age of profound social change, she wants nothing more than to marry her doctor boyfriend and raise a family in a small town.

Hannah gets her wish. But once installed as the doctor's wife in a nowhere corner of Maine, boredom sets in ... until an unforeseen moment of personal rebellion changes everything. Especially as Hannah is forced into breaking the law.

For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless life remains buried. But then, in the charged atmosphere of America after 9/11, her secret comes out and her life goes into freefall.

The Narrows by Michael Connelly:
FBI agent Rachel Walling finally gets the call she's dreaded for years, the one that tells her the Poet has surfaced. She has never forgotten the serial killer who wove lines of poetry in his hideous crimes -- and apparently he has not forgotten her.
Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too -- from the widow of an old friend. Her husband's death seems natural, but this ties to the hunt for the Poet make Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds with the FBI ... and squarely in the path of the Poet, who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat, through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his own...

Turning Angel by Greg Iles:
After his wife's death, prosecutor Penn Cage returns to his hometown to raise his young daughter in a safe haven. But Penn is about to discover that nowhere is truly safe -- not from long-buried secrets, and not from murder. .... When the body of prep school student Kate Townsend is found near the Mississippi River, Penn's best friend, Drew Elliott, is desperate for his counsel. The town's esteemed family physician, Drew has a shocking confession: he was sexually involved with the teenaged Kate. Penn will do all he can to exonerate Drew, who saved his life when they were boys, but his gut tells him Drew is hiding the truth. And in a town where the gaze of a landmark cemetery statue -- the Turning Angel -- never leaves you, Penn finds himself caught under the shadows of blackmail and betrayal, and on the jagged edge of deadly violence.
