Colonel Sun by Kingsley Amis

Kingsley Amis wrote Colonel Sun under the pseudonym Robert Markham. It was the first James Bond novel by a different author than his creator Ian Fleming. I reread it recently and found it a solid entry in the series, certainly stronger than some of t ...more

To the best of my knowledge, this is the best historical account in English of the WWI Italian front in 1915-1919. From the political machinations and nationalist manipulations to shift the Italian alliance and push the country into war, to the sense ...more

There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak

I fully enjoyed this novel and although quite long, the narrative flows fast like the rivers she evokes. Shafak masterfully weaves lives across time and geographies, all connected by ancient Mesopotamia. Her idea that water carries memory, trauma, an ...more

I came to this book as a fan of Werner Herzog's movies, and the book did not disappoint. This memoir reads less like a conventional autobiography and more like a collection of philosophical notes from a life lived at the edge of possibility. Herzog r ...more
