Booklog 2007: Week 3
Jan. 22nd, 2007 12:01 pmWork is especially miserable today, and I think I'm fighting off a cold, so let's avoid all that stuff and talk about books instead! (Denial is my friend.)
Week 3: 15-21 January 2007
( 13. Watching the English — Kate Fox ) Bloody hell! Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks… Oh, God! I’m English!
( 14. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead — Tom Stoppard ) This tends to be the kind of time when unfortunately I utterly fail to be deep. But at least I liked this rather a lot more than Waiting For Godot.
( 15. Mathematicians in Love — Rudy Rucker ) So really, what I liked the best were the bits about Bela’s band; I guess what I really wanted was a story about alternate universe rock ‘n’ roll. With no Alma.
( 16. The Double Helix — James D. Watson ) But, controversy aside, this is a great example of science as an adventure story, and I quite enjoyed it.
( 17. The Man in the Queue — Josephine Tey ) All in all, while this was a light, quick read, it was not an especially memorable one.
( 18. The Book of Lost Things — John Connolly ) I love books about books and stories about stories, and this was an incredibly imaginative and scary and exciting and moving example of that. Plus, gay knights.
Total Books: 18
