Close Encounters of the Flan Kind
Jan. 29th, 2009 10:42 amBad news: I left my glasses in my coworker's car, so I am SO BLIND RIGHT NOW.
Good news: after joking with several people that since I would be working in Malibu, I would probably see Joe Flanigan going about his daily Flan, ( I ACTUALLY SAW HIM! )
*cough* Okay, we now return to your (ir)regularly scheduled booklog.
( 11. Under the Jaguar Sun — Italo Calvino ) So far I like Brockmeier’s descriptions of Calvino’s writing better than the actual product, but I shall hold onto hope.
( 12. Kangaroo Notebook — Kobo Abe ) Abe’s The Woman in the Dunes is supposed to be a classic, one of the things you MUST READ if you are cultivating an interest in Japanese literature. I am now, however, disinclined to.
( 13. The Diving Pool — Yoko Ogawa ) Ogawa’s use of language is both seductive and severely disquieting; I will definitely be seeking out more of her work.
( 14. House of M — Brian Michael Bendis ) I demand internal logic!
( 15. The Audacity of Hope — Barack Obama ) What Siria said.
( 16. The Blind Assassin — Margaret Atwood ) not awful. But kind of redundant.
( 17. Superman: Birthright — Mark Waid ) “Oh yeah! This is what Smallville would have been like if it were good!”
( 18. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman — Haruki Murakami ) I always enjoy small peeks into the writing process like that.
( 19. Deaf Sentence — David Lodge ) I found the divorce process distracting and rather coarse.
( 20. The Bro Code — Matt Kuhn ) NPH makes everything better.
Total Reviews: 20/29
You know, there's a weird theme of blindness or other impairment in this selection. I totally should have seen this coming.
