Booklog 2008: Catch-Up Post the Sixth
Apr. 30th, 2008 12:03 pm( 51. No Castles Here — A.C.E. Bauer ) There’s nothing about it that I would call particularly notable. It’s just…pleasant.
( 52. Ex Machina: The First Hundred Days — Brian K. Vaughan ) I’d really like to read more.
( 53. The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox — Maggie O’Farrell ) The whole, I felt, added up to less than the sum of its parts.
( 54. Born to Rock — Gordon Korman ) I had a great time reading this book—though I really do wish the ending had been less rushed.
( 55. One for Sorrow — Christopher Barzak ) If you’re looking for a queer ghost story, I would definitely point you in that direction instead.
( 56. Things I’ve Learned From Women Who’ve Dumped Me — Ed. by Ben Karlin ) Guys, maybe if you stop being assholes, I can enjoy sex-related humor again! WORK ON THAT KTHX.
( 57. Flight (Vol. 1) — Ed. by Kazu Kibuishi ) My favorite from this volume was the one about the girl who grows wings (yes, wingfic, ha ha), but for me that was really the only standout.
( 58. X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga — Chris Claremont ) However, the panel where a pre-teen Kitty Pryde helps a hairy, naked Wolverine climb out of a giant golden bird cage was pretty sweet.
( 59. The Curse of Chalion — Lois McMaster Bujold ) Will try the next book, Paladin of Souls, as I already have it and, well, even eh-Bujold is a great deal better than most everything else out there; but I’m not feeling particularly rushed to do so.
( 60. The Polysyllabic Spree — Nick Hornby ) he's funny, unpretentious, and genuinely curious about the world and the people in it. I wish I saw what he sees in Dickens, however.
Total Reviews: 60/70
