A list of books:

"Yes, it costs twenty dollars, but this is the goods. Not just a brilliant commentary on Ecclesiastes with many clever arguments for new readings ... but also endlessly suggestive in the way it applies the biblical content to pressing modern-day issues. Plus you get the world's best commentary on Song of Songs thrown in" (http://www.squidoo.com/ecclesiastes).
