Reviews

Looking for your next read? Below you can find reviews of stuff I really don't think is a waste of your time:

The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

For anybody who loves beautiful prose veering towards a YA audience.

The Dog Stars by Peter Heller

A sensitive post-apocalyptic pioneer and his dog search for meaning and connection.

1Q84 by Haruki Marukami

Literary science fiction requiring commitment and comfort with nerdom and ambiguity.

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Unexpectedly affecting-yet-bleak look at modern life. Excellent characters. Fabulous vacation read.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

A young sensitive protagonist. Start with Age of Miracles, and if you love it, read this next.

Treasure Island!!! by Sarah Levine

Satire. Lots of hornblowing. Hi-larious.










The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

Just, oh, you know, one of the greatest American novels ever. Read it.

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

Just about my favorite book in the whole wide world.
