Books read this month.
- American Pastoral, by Phillip Roth. I haven't written about this yet. Not sure what I think about it. Great writing, but ugly, ugly story.
- The History Man, by Anthony Burgess. A campus novel, so...yeah! But, what crap people.
- The Glass Hotel, by Emily St. John Mandel. Love this author.
- Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, by P.G. Wodehouse. One of his best. Hadn't read this Jeeves yet.
- Modernaj Robinzonoj, de Tivadar Soros. Bonega libro, en la temo al mi tre placxas: milito kaj subpremo.
- The Passage, by Justin Cronin. Very clever vampiric story.
- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, by Robert Heinlein. What did I ever see...
- Amaro, by Brad Thomas Parsons. Wonderful book about a wonderful drink. My homemade amaro from this book is almost ready!
- The Woman in the Dunes, by Kobo Abe. Strange.
Books bought this month:
- 100 Hieroglyphs: Think Like an Egyptian, by Barry Kemp. Love his Egyptological works.
- About Face, by David Hackworth. One bad-ass mofo. RIP, colonel.
- Underworld, by Don DeLillo. Will read this finally.
- Piercing, by Ryu Murakami. Loved his other one I read recently. This one seems...disturbing.
- Down There on a Visit, by Christopher Isherwood. Love his work.
- Words Into Type, by Marjorie Skillin. Required reading for copyeditors (and copyeditor wanna-be's, like me!)
- La horo 25, de Constantine Virgil Gheorghu. Tre bona (ĝis nun...mi finlegis nur triono).
