Booklog 2008: Catch-Up Post the Third
Apr. 24th, 2008 09:25 am( 21. When You Were Me — Robert Rodi ) the end takes a fun turn, and on the most basic level, I was entertained.
( 22. Better — Atul Gawande ) His books are fascinating, and while I don’t know how he finds the time to write them, I hope he keeps doing so.
( 23. Y: The Last Man — Motherland — Brian K. Vaughan ) I hope the final TP comes out soon, and that it’s awesome. (And if anyone spoils me, I will KILL them.)
( 24. How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read — Pierre Bayard ) there’s my half-remembered, half-baked opinion. According to Bayard’s philosophy, it’s gold.
( 25. The Last Dodo — Jacqueline Rayner ) I’ve sat through the Doctor Who S4 premiere. In comparison, this novel seems AWESOME. Way to lower my standards, Rusty.
( 26. Avalon High — Meg Cabot ) I think maybe 1 1/2 sentences of this review were actually on-topic. I win!
( 27. Fairy Tales — Peter Cashorali ) I like the idea of combining aspects of modern life with traditional stories, but not if you kill the magic.
( 28. Vicious Circle — Mike Carey ) Giving up on this series now, as I probably should have done after the first book. At least now I can sit tight knowing I gave it a fair chance.
( 29. Lincoln’s Dreams — Connie Willis ) The whole book almost feels like a warm-up for Passage, and if this is what Willis needed to get out of her system in order to write that book, fine, because Passage is amazing. Lincoln’s Dreams, on the other hand…not so much.
( 30. The Fug Awards — Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan ) Will be curious to see how this weathers, and whether/how much I’ll be laughing if I reread it a year from now—or ten.
Total Reviews: 30/67
