Pre-turkey booklog
Nov. 26th, 2008 01:20 pmHappy (early) Thanksgiving, everyone! Here's some more booklog to whet your appetite. Well, book reviews make me hungry, anyway.
( 192. Time Was — Nora Roberts ) This book was first published in 1989, and from my perspective in the far distant future of the 21st century, it really does seem like a long ago, primitive era—and not one I’d care to revisit.
( 193. A Well-Timed Enchantment — Vivian Vande Velde ) this book didn’t impress me much when I was 12, and it doesn’t impress me much now either.
( 194. Elantris — Brandon Sanderson ) a lot of fantasy novels, this one included, could do with being a lot less epic.
( 195. Clockwork — Philip Pullman ) the journey is interesting, anyway.
( 196. Naked Pictures of Famous People — Jon Stewart ) It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.
( 197. I Was Told There’d Be Cake — Sloane Crosley ) does it make her the second coming of David Sedaris, as a bunch of reviewers seem to think? No, it does not.
( 198. The Silver Metal Lover — Tanith Lee ) I enjoyed this book very much, especially the middle sections when it’s just Jane, Silver, and the music they make.
( 199. Iron Man: Extremis — Warren Ellis ) then I remember that Ellis’ run on Hellblazer didn’t exactly rock my world either.
( 200. The Uncommon Reader — Alan Bennett ) I can’t help be enchanted by the idea that books and reading really might be this transformative.
Total Reviews: 200/235
