( 26. PopCo — Scarlett Thomas ) This was still, for the most part, a really engaging read, but the build-up was better than the follow-through.
( 27. Special Topics in Calamity Physics — Marisha Pessl ) Still, the book is Pessl’s first—I’m really curious and excited to see what she does next.
( 28. Almost Like Being in Love — Steve Kluger ) The ending is unfortunately a little rushed, with too many events happening “off-screen,” as it were, but hey: published fluffy gay romance! Good for what ails ya!
( 29. The Children of Men — P.D. James ) Is one better than the other? I felt the film more strongly, possibly because it is so timely. But the book is incredible in its own right, chilling in different but no less effective ways. I’ll be thinking about both for a long, long time.
Total Books: 29
