June haiku go!
.
A Man Without a Country
legacy capstone
here lie Vonnegut’s last words
this one’s non-fiction
.
The Strain
vampires again? ugh…
“anti-Twilight”? not enough…
a trilogy? sigh…
.
Silverfish
Lapham can’t go wrong
head fish, blood, knives, carnival
add up to Great Read
.
Solar
a bit of a change
McEwan can be funny
not bad, but not great
.
The Known World
past and present blur
a challenge full of pleasures
another Great Read
.
Noir
Coover is a master
convoluted mystery
read it for the prose
.
Invitation to a Beheading
sweet! more Nabokov
less wordplay, more thoughtfulness
was in Russian first
.
Boneshaker
steampunk with zombies
an alternate history
not Victorian
.
City of Lost Girls
eesh, this is quite bad
profiling without progress
don’t read this book, please
.
For the Win
gold farmer union
crash course in economics
intriguing and fun
.
The Marrowbone Marble Company
talented writer
but too much wish fulfillment
race is not simple
.
