A story about "The Taiping Rebellion" — 5 years ago
I’ve never really read historical fiction before, so I don’t know if this is typical, but the way the author tied the book together by adding a fictional character while making it pretty clear what was actual historical fact was interesting. (11/24/2004)
A story about "The Fox Woman" — 5 years ago
About as good as fudoki. I wish these books were slightly better written, but they’re pretty interesting, so I will probably continue to read them nonetheless. (11/24/2004)
A story about "The Dalkey Archive (Irish Literature Series)" — 5 years ago
It was ok but really didn’t compare to The Third Policeman. (11/24/2004)
A story about "The White Album" — 5 years ago
Having already read the essay after which the book is titled, I found the rest of the essays in The White Album slightly dissapointing in comparison. However, even these essays are very good; Didion is certainly an amazing writer. (11/24/2004)
A story about "Journey to the West, Volume 1 (Journey to the West)" — 5 years ago
Well, only 3 more volumes after this one… (11/28/04)
A story about "Crimes Against Logic" — 5 years ago
In addition to being highly educational, this book was hilarious. I bought this book after reading an interview with Whyte in New Scientist, and while it seemed he was slightly more restrained in the book, he has no sympathy for those who commit logical fallacies. Highly recommended. (11/28/04)
A story about "Complicity" — 5 years ago
Brutal and fascinating, like Banks’s other novels. (11/28/04)
A story about "The Master and Margarita" — 5 years ago
A very interesting and humorous novel. I read the Glenny translation, which is apparently comparatively poor, so perhaps I will read some other version in the future. (12/12/2004)
