1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
Read: March 2012 Rating: Thumbs Down Review: I wanted to love this book. I was desperate to love this book. And it started out so good, I was almost sure I had a winner. It starts with a woman climbing … Continue reading

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

Against Love: A Polemic by Laura Kipnis
Read: January 2012 Rating: Thumbs Up Review: Ah, nonfiction. I’m not generally a fan because of one reason and one reason only: it’s always WAY too long. I would say about 90% of the nonfiction books I’ve read would have … Continue reading
