Bi-Curious Booklog
I've decided I'm not going to get on my own case about how frequently I do this, as long as I do it eventually. So:
( 71. Remember Me? — Sophie Kinsella ) this is froth WITH BONUS AMNESIA.
( 72. Rant — Chuck Palahniuk ) this felt like the first draft of what could have been a legitimately incredible novel; as-is, it’s just kind of…confusing.
( 73. Kafka’s Soup — Mark Crick ) A good gift-type book.
( 74. Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander — Ann Herendeen ) the publication of Phyllida—regardless of how little I liked it—does seem like a good sign in terms of publishers realizing that there is a market for this sort of thing. Now, if only some of my favorite fic authors could write it!
( 75. Therapy — David Lodge ) I didn’t enjoy it as much as Paradise News or the Changing Places trilogy, but that doesn’t mean I still didn’t enjoy it a lot.
( 76. Mortified: Love Is a Battlefield — Ed. by David Nadelberg ) If you like reading badfic or are fond of Schadenfreude, then you will be in heaven. If you have a bad embarrassment squick, on the other hand…not so much.
( 77. Cranford — Elizabeth Gaskell ) I quite enjoyed reading this, though not as much as North and South, which benefits from social strife, culture clash, and a romance—a real plot, in other words. I may try Cousin Phillis (one of the other Cranford novels) or Mary Barton next. Anyone familiar with Gaskell have any thoughts?
( 78. Conservatize Me — John Moe ) kudos to John Moe for doing it for us. He’s a better man than me.
( 79. Used and Rare — Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone ) Just make sure the green-eyed monster is securely locked away before you start reading.
( 80. Strangers — Gardner Dozois ) Given my reaction to a lot of the genre’s “classics,” I suppose that’s not saying much, but it’s something, anyway.
Total Books: 80
