	Brett gave to: Survivor: A Novel (Paperback) by Chuck Palahniuk	my rating:
	Brett said: "There is a difference between unsavory characters and worthless characters, Palahniuk seems to have an obsession with the latter. Base and sophomoric, it seems more like an exploitation of Chuck's interest in the twisted and filthy than a satire on f...more " add a comment
	Brett gave to: Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays (Hardcover) by David Foster Wallace	my rating:
	Brett said: "As always, quite heady and thought-provoking. A couple of the essays (the Russian lit one and the English grammar one) can be a bit tough to get through, and let's not even mention the final essay...but all in all, a very entertaining collection of e...more " add a comment
	Brett gave to: White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9) by Jim Butcher	my rating:
	read in October, 2008 Brett said: "Another great installment, though the ending feels like a bit of a cop-out. " add a comment

	Brett gave to: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (Paperback) by Michael Chabon	my rating:
	read in September, 2008 Brett said: "Brilliant beyond words. A tough read, mostly due to the epic scope, but worth every minute. " add a comment
	Brett gave to: You Shall Know Our Velocity (Paperback) by Dave Eggers	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 Brett said: "Great book, but the ending is a little strange. Eggers writing is brilliant, as always. " add a comment

	Brett gave to: Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8) by Jim Butcher	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 Brett said: "Definitely the slowest book in the Dresden Files (especially coming off of "Dead Beat"), but I think it might contain Butcher's best writing to date. It's a slow burn, more noir/mystery than action/fantasy, but quite awesome. " add a comment
	Brett gave to: Dead Beat (The Dresden Files, Book 7) by Jim Butcher	my rating:
	Brett said: "The most wild, ridiculous Dresden book so far. It's completely amazing (albeit quite far-fetched) and "yahoo!" for character development. " add a comment
	Brett gave to: The Long Goodbye (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) by Raymond Chandler	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 Brett said: "If you need a definition of "noir": read this book. Also, it's just plain chock full of awesomeness. " add a comment

	Brett gave to: Lost: A Novel (Paperback) by Gregory Maguire	my rating:
	Brett said: "Kind of cool, but it will be my last book by Gregory Maquire. His writing is very distracting, either on purpose or naturally. Half the time I had to reread entire passages just to understand the action. Very strange style this man has. " add a comment
	Brett gave to: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Paperback) by Gregory Maguire	my rating:
	Brett said: "The style of writing in this novel made my brain hurt. It also hurt my time, which it wasted. See the musical. " add a comment
