I enjoyed this book, which I picked up to learn more about Gypsies in Europe, a topic we rarely hear about. Who were they? What were they like? How did they behave? Why were people so frightened of them? This novel IS strange but if you are intereste ...more

I actually picked up this book by mistake: I was intending to grab something by Tony Hillerman for a re-read, TH is this author's father. Best thing I can say this selection is that I did enjoy the setting of Chee's investigation very much. Brought b ...more

Beethoven by Jan Swafford

Whew! Finally finished it. Long! Worked at it for 2 or 3 months, with breaks to listen to the music as I read about it's composition. Often interlarded my serious reading time for this with other fiction, some reported herein, the rest (e.g. masses o ...more

The Language of Bees by Laurie R. King
Rate this book
Clear rating
A longish tale, and fairly slow to start: The first quarter of this one is all about Mary Russel's investigation of Sherlock's empty bee hive--a dozy rather than a thrilling read. Finally, however, the murder mystery gets going around page 150 after ...more

A number of Goodreaders comment on the difficulty of the translation here (into English from Dutch). So tho, I was prepared for a somewhat hard read, I found in the end that I wasn't much bothered by the so-called awkwardness of the English sentences ...more

The second Palliser novel aka "The Irish Member." Excellent. About social and Parliamentary politics--the difficulties of navigating the inevitable temptations, disappointments, foolishness, and the time it takes to develop a truly mature attitude fo ...more

Matrix by Lauren Groff
"Sisterhood

I may not understand Groff’s intention with this book. Or perhaps I do, in which case I don’t like it. It is historical fiction only in the broadest sense that a woman called Marie Abbess of Shaftesbury did exist. Anything else is mostly le" Read more of this review »

Golden Hill by Francis Spufford
Golden Hill
by Francis Spufford (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Spufford's first novel, as opposed to his many non-fictions, which had started creeping towards what he claims to think of as "alternative histories" rather than historical fictions. Without going into any of that, I rather enjoyed the ride. A lot of ...more

Companion Piece by Ali Smith

"'ello 'ello. 'ello!" So opens this wonderfully enjoyable recent (and quite short) novel by A. Smith. It's different! And it's surprisingly compelling. As one ought by now to expect from Ali Smith. Filled with imaginings, and puns, wordplay, metaphor ...more

Better than Rick Steves if you happen to be planning a trip to Prague AND enjoy reading about classical music, piano playing, and are drawn to that minor genre of fiction about lost books or lost art. It certainly hit my buttons. Otherwise, that is i ...more
