( 242. Dave Barry Does Japan — Dave Barry ) he is hilarious, and that’s what really matters here.
( 243. The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls — John R. King ) That this is bad stings even worse because it could have been so frickin’ cool. Dammit.
( 244. Castle Waiting — Linda Medley ) I hope the continuation becomes available soon.
( 245. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time — Mark Haddon ) I’m still contemplating what conclusions could be drawn from that…
( 246. Hokkaido Highway Blues — Will Ferguson ) I highly recommend it.
( 247. The Wordy Shipmates — Sarah Vowell ) It made me miss the travelogue and comparative aspects of her previous books.
( 248. Stories of Your Life and Others — Ted Chiang ) That’s a different sort of reading experience for me—but ultimately an enjoyable and rewarding one.
( 249. Kitchen — Banana Yoshimoto ) at least I’ve fulfilled my 50¢ obligation now.
( 250. Pizzeria Kamikaze — Etgar Keret & Asaf Hanuka ) It alone makes this worth picking up.
Total Reviews: 250/280
And one unrelated rec: The Failure of Einstein's Universe (The Big Bang Theory, Penny/Sheldon), which is by far my favorite Yuletide story so far. I don't exactly need more crazy sitcom ships in my life, but this is hilarious and achy and perfect.
What's your favorite, as of 12:36 P.M. PST? *g*
