Fags and Lager

A story about "Endymion Spring"

nobody@allconsuming.net (come_from_away) — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 16:31:01 GMT

Endymion Spring

by Matthew Skelton

After reading lots of positive reviews I think my expectation were a bit too high. It is an okay story, but it moves along really, really, slowly. I was fine with believing in dragons, but a librarian at a prestigious university library who would be willing to look after the children of a visiting scholar? Now, that’s really fantasy!

The Rock Orchard: A Novel

by Paula Wall

Light, fluffy and entertaining. If you’re feeling stressed and overworked this is the book to read before bed. A bit of a cop-out ending though

Finding Ms. Wright: A Jo Jacuzzo Mystery (Jo Jacuzzo Mysteries)

by Anne Seale

light, fluffy, trashy, lesbian mystery. Good for a rainy day or when you’re home with the flu.

A story about "Flush"

nobody@allconsuming.net (come_from_away) — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 10:51:19 GMT

Flush

by Carl Hiaasen

Not as good as Hoot but still a good story for children. I like the irreverancy for authority but the respect for nature in Hiaasen’s work. I hope he writes some more adult fiction soon.

A story about "Acquainted with the Night : An Hour by Hour Celebration of the Art, Science, and Culture of Nighttime"

nobody@allconsuming.net (come_from_away) — Thu, 26 May 2005 13:21:25 GMT

Acquainted with the Night : An Hour by Hour Celebration of the Art, Science, and Culture of Nighttime

by Christopher Dewdney

DR:
I enjoyed reading this book. A true celebration of the night. Alas, it was time to return it to the library. I will borrow the book again and I would love to read it on a camping trip. Through the wall of a tent, the night is so close.

A story about "Good Morning, Midnight"

nobody@allconsuming.net (come_from_away) — Thu, 26 May 2005 13:21:24 GMT

Good Morning, Midnight

by Reginald Hill

DR:I’ve read most of the Dalziel and Pascoe series and this one continues the fine tradition. I quite like Hill’s use of language and how he has developed the characters over the course of the series. I did find this books tipped towards ‘over the top’ – not just a good who done it – this had kinky sex, drugs, spies, international intrigue, arms trade, etc. Stretching credibiltiy but still a good read.
