Centaur by John Updike
Centaur
by John Updike
read in January, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
True to its reviews, a strange mixture of solid, grounded, quite compelling Updike drama and somewhat more bizarre mythological meanderings.
Evan gave 3 of 5 stars to:
Where I'm Calling From by Raymond Carver
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Carver tells a good story - though in many ways, keeps telling the same good story over and over again, in this collection. Taken in small doses, it is a fine read, but the repetition of theme and content proves, in longer sittings, somewhat difficul...more

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Really wanted to like this book, given its pedigree. Enjoyed parts, wasn't bothered by the distinctive voice and style. Ultimately, though, it felt like a chore to get through.

While Oscar's story itself seems somewhat appealing, his parents/grandpar...more

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Kafka on the Shore
by Haruki Murakami
read in June, 2011
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Solidly bizarre, disturbing, and enjoyable, if perhaps slightly less enchanting than "The Wind Up Bird Chronicle" and "A Wild Sheep Chase."

Richard Yates by Tao Lin
Richard Yates
by Tao Lin (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2011
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Moments of unquellable smiling, moments of consternation, moments of true brilliance, and moments of boredom. Worth a read for the use of the phrases "cheese beast" and "party girl" alone, as long as reading is done with "a neutral facial expression....more
