Cintra’s hit-and-run marathon through pop culture is scathing, funny, and brilliant.

A great read, but a little sad at how cleanly everything seemed to be cleaned up, but that seems to be a trend in the books I’ve recently read.

a wonderful, important work.

Raymond Carver makes me want to cry. For so many reasons. To be able to create such syntax-simple, yet emotionally powerful prose is a true gift. I had forgotten how much I had loved his stories.

Oh how I wish I could live in the wonderful world of a Calvino novel. This touching tale of Cosimo, the Baron in the trees, is full of fantasy and romance.

This was quite a good novel. I’m more eager now to read Middlesex. I’m usually not a fan of narrated fiction, but I think it worked well here. Still, a sad and dark novel.

I never, ever find books like this at the used book store. Got lucky today.

This turned out to be just a so-so book. Pretty good idea, but not the best of execution. It’s kind of funny reading PKD books in these fancy and glossy trade paperbacks, because I think they really don’t deserve the treatment. They should have just reprinted them in bad-quality pulp paperbacks with the original and cheesy artwork.

Pretty good book, but not as spectacular (to me) as Breakfast of Champions or Slaughterhouse-five were.

Brilliant and moving.
