The Book I Just Read

This page is a place for me to put thoughts about (drumroll) the book I just read. It's also yet another affirmation of my general distaste for cutesy webpage titles.

I promise to make a graphic for this page eventually.

An Equal Music, by Vikram Seth

A book that makes adultery annoying and music vaporous.

Our Mutual Friend, by Charles Dickens

A big shocker: I like an acknowledged classic of Western literature.

Men and Cartoons, by Jonathan Lethem

Not quite as powerful as a locomotive, but still packs a punch.

Big If, by Mark Costello

Enthralling postmodernity, with a few glaring problems.

Family Matters, by Rohinton Mistry

It's not about Urkel! It's awesome!

Fork it Over: The Intrepid Adventures of a Professional Eater, by Alan Richman

Not as filling as one might like.

Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things: What Categories Reveal About the Mind, by George Lakoff

Your thought process vigorously analyzed for 600 pages.

The Whore’s Child and Other Stories, by Richard Russo

Borderline misogyny from a writer who normally seems to know better.
