I read I'M SORRY IF I SCARED YOU from Mae Murray during the same bad car day that I read Chapman's WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES. Her novel moves at a rip-roaring pace through the way it's structured, pulling you inexorably forward through the wonderful ...more

Finally finished The Fisherman, by John Langan. It's not a long book, but it's dense, with long stretches of sentences and paragraphs that harken back to the 1800s style of writing that inspired the novel. That it owes a lot to Moby Dick and Lovecraf ...more
