( 41. Hellblazer: All His Engines — Mike Carey ) why hasn’t any of Paul Jenkins’ run on this title been collected as trades? I loved that run. Am I the only one?
( 42. A Short History of Women — Kate Walbert ) instead of wallowing how 'bout try to be awesome? And maybe fight people with swords.
( 43. Fat Vampire — Adam Rex ) you really hope the slightly charred guy in the lab coat can do better next time. Maybe next time he’ll land that Nobel Prize.
( 44. Déjà Dead — Kathy Reichs ) Instead I got a depressingly straightforward police procedural, anchored by a lot of stiff, mostly colorless characters and a protagonist who, in being rendered more “relatable,” becomes much less interesting than her TV counterpart.
( 45. Why Translation Matters — Edith Grossman ) When those instant language-learning chips become available, sign me right up.
( 46. Giovanni’s Room — James Baldwin ) you should read this.
( 47. Life After Life — Paul Jepson & Tony Parker ) you sympathize and feel repulsed by them in turn, often within moments of each other.
( 48. Ramayana: Divine Loophole — Sanjay Patel ) blue people are hot when James Cameron isn’t making them part of something politically and racially skeevy.
( 49. The Forty Rules of Love — Elif Shafak ) I’d like to learn more about Sufism as well. Book recommendations, anybody?
( 50. Bill Bryson’s African Diary — Bill Bryson ) I’d recommend either thinking of the book as a gift-with-donation, or getting it from the library.
Total Books: 50/197
