Booklog: Gone to Texas

( 131. Player Piano — Kurt Vonnegut )

I expect better.

---

( 132. Reservation Blues — Sherman Alexie )

What a wonderful, exhilarating book.

---

( 133. The Napoleon of Notting Hill — G.K. Chesterton )

Is it my civic duty to figure out a way to press these pages into his hands? Quite possibly.

---

( 134. Preacher: Gone to Texas — Garth Ennis )

Some of this shit would make Alastair cry.

---

( 135. Netherland — Joseph O’Neill )

while it engaged my brain, it failed to capture my heart.

---

( 136. The Manual of Detection — Jedediah Berry )

it has none of The Man Who Was Thursday's wit. You should read that instead.

---

( 137. Twenty Fragments of a Ravenous Youth — Xiaolu Guo )

This was like a wonderful appetizer; I can’t wait to read some of Guo’s—likely more mature and complete—later work.

---

( 138. Humans — Donald E. Westlake )

I already gave my copy of Humans away.

---

( 139. The Authority: Under New Management — Warren Ellis, et. al. )

Oh well.

---

( 140. The Dark Horse Book of the Dead — Ed. by Scott Allie )

Always a fabulous sign, that.
