Harold by Steven Wright

If you know this author from his standup work, then you can expect a book filled with goofy nonsequiter jokes. While the journey is relatively light and breezy, there are some moments of depth and perceptive observation. The book could’ve used a stro ...more

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Rate this book
Clear rating
It’s easy to see how a book this frank about preteen girls wrestling with puberty and religion became a groundbreaking classic over half a century ago. Because the narrator’s journey into adulthood is still a rare, sweet and profound experience even ...more

Animal Farm by George Orwell
Rate this book
Clear rating
An absolute masterpiece, and arguably the greatest novel ever in terms of the vital education which it provides about how the world really works. Orwell’s visionary parable is somehow more profound and prophetic today in Trumpland than when I first e ...more

I can see why people fawn over this novella, but it’s most likely because they haven’t ever seen or read the near infinite amount of predecessors who similarly plumb the same concepts, from the Twilight Zone on. But premise is all this work has to of ...more

Outer Dark by Cormac McCarthy

How big a fan of Cormac McCarthy are you? Because the devout acolytes of dark and turgid machismo will delight in this story, which would be the ideal epoch of the writer’s typical style and themes, if only all his other works didn’t also so precisel ...more

Perhaps someday Michael Crichton will receive proper accolades for his visionary storytelling to sit alongside Verne, Wells and Bradbury at the sci-fi Rushmore. This is perhaps his most challenging and ambitious work, one that fuses together sci-fi w ...more

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch
Rate this book

Don’t believe the hype. There’s an adage in storytelling that says “Don’t have more than one magic.” If readers can suspend disbelief for one supernatural aspect, adding on more might be a bit much, i.e. teleporting zombies. But this overstuffed book ...more

Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
Rate this book

A solid short story - Atmospheric and spooky at points, slow build, but interesting and different finale. One problem for many readers will be the unlikable characters, a pack of bratty adults that aren’t very sympathetic or interesting. The plot is ...more
