June 2023

 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).
