"Buckle up, reader. This review is going to be a roller-coaster.
Ironically, Patric Gagne's Sociopath left me feeling a lot of different things. Gagne has written a memoir of her life as a sociopath. She chronicles how she tried to live a mostly non-vi" Read more of this review » |

The Possessed: Adventures With Russian Books and the People Who Read Them:
"This original work of creative nonfiction is an intellectual gem, especially because of Batuman's honesty and her great laughter at the thing called people. The irreverence of her thought uncontaminated by political correctness, by sentimentality, by"

| I'll be honest—I picked this up expecting it to be pretty good but a bit superficial and ham-handed. Instead, it's one of the best satires that I've read in years, with real heart behind it too. Kuang's anger about the winner takes all nature of publ ...more | |

I would say that this lived up to the hype. This book is brimming with originality and brilliance and an inspiring passion for games and stories, and I was totally invested in Sam and Sadie individually and in their relationship. I love the meta-ficti ...more |

| This is a fantastic idea for a novel, some greatness here and there, but overall doesn't feel fully realized. On the other hand, this is compulsively readable, as Gould always is. She's killing it at her New York magazine newsletter Dinner Party: htt ...more | |

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”

“Literary truth is not the truth of the biographer or the reporter, it’s not a police report or a sentence handed down by a court. It’s not even the plausibility of a well-constructed narrative.

And when it works, there is no stereotype or cliché of popular literature that resists it. It reanimates, revives, subjects everything to its needs.”

Thanks for the friend request and the book recommendation! I'm actually familiar with Okofor -- so far I've liked her short stories but not her novels.
TGWTMH is about 40 pages or less, so closer to one of her short stories probably.
If you read it, you'll have to let me know where it falls on the spectrum of the books of hers you've read.
