books

Yes, I realize the admission that I FEEL I am not my own captain can be debated.

Well, fuck you. Feelings can and often do define reality.

On to books... (this list will have to evolve over time, like I can even begin to remember them all off the top of my head... muchless the content of all? oy vey.)

Have read:

Cloud Atlas
*An amazing romp through historical, mystery, film noire, sci-fi, and back again. Brilliant.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
*Book club pick. Easy read, and from the unusual POV of an Asperger's Boy.
The Pleasure of My Company
*Written by Steve Martin. Quite possibly the central character does have Asperger's Syndrome. Not the laugh out lout funny the cover promises. I snorted-ish, twice.
The Reader
*Book club, lucky dip gift. Historical, sexy, sad, angry, amazing. Read it.
Tender Morsels
*Random pick of my own at bookstore... secretly pleased Gaiman liked it so. Fantastic adult fantasy if you can get past the jarring beginning plot points.
Life of Pi
*Wow. Such a page turner. Well done, unusual. A mystery. A coming of age. A fantasy. Brilliant.
Water for Elephants
*Fantastic novel. Quick paced and easy to read. Introduces a period of time we have all heard of, but few still know folk with REAL memories (Depression in USA). Very well done, a great read.
Atlas Shrugged
*Read in high school and remember as long, but so worth it. Should reread.
Live, Love, Eat
Discomfort Zone
The Sparrow
The Things We Carried
Confederacy of Dunces
