	Davin gave to: Music Through the Floor: Stories (Paperback) by Eric Puchner bookshelves: fiction	my rating:
	read in December, 2007 Davin said: "Probably my favorite thing that I read in 2007. There isn't anything too flashy going on here, just excellent short stories populated with genuine, multifaceted characters caught at moments that offer a deep understanding of them (often deeper th...more " add a comment
	Davin gave to: The Haiku Apprentice: Memoirs of Writing Poetry in Japan (Paperback) by Abigail Friedman bookshelves: japanisme	my rating:
	read in February, 2008 Davin said: "An interesting book on haiku framed with bits of memoir. I always assumed there was more to haiku than just counting syllables, but since my exposure was limited to 3rd grade creative writing, I haven't had a whole lot to base this assumption on. T...more " add a comment

	Davin gave to: The Braindead Megaphone (Paperback) by George Saunders	my rating:
	read in December, 2007 Davin said: "A collection of essays and satire. I found it to be a slightly mixed bag (I thought the satirical essays were the weakest), but most of the pieces were really good, especially when he is talking about books and writing. His introduction to Hucklebe...more " add a comment

	Davin gave to: Memed, My Hawk (Paperback) by Yasar Kemal bookshelves: fiction	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Davin said: "A fun reasonably quick read that reminded me of a Turkish Robin Hood. Memed flees an oppressive life to become a bandit. The book is pretty episodic (it was first serialized in a Turkish paper) which also made it feel like listening to legendary ta...more " add a comment

	read in November, 2007 Davin said: "My step-Dad recommended this to me when I was visiting home a couple of weeks ago. A graphic novelization of a Dutch trader's journal as he ventured into upstate from New Amsterdam to secure trading rights for pelts. George O'Connor does a good ...more " add a comment

	Davin gave to: The Brooklyn Follies: A Novel (Paperback) by Paul Auster bookshelves: fiction	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Davin said: "I read Auster's New York Trilogy a little over a year ago. I appreciated and was amused by its meta-fictional devices and occasionally floored by its passages. I liked it but hoped I could read something of his that was a little more more down to e...more " add a comment
	Davin gave to: Getting Wet: Adventures in the Japanese Bath (Hardcover) by Eric Talmadge bookshelves: japanisme	my rating:
	recommended for: people interested in Japan read in October, 2007 Davin said: "The bath is something different in Japan than it is in the West. Getting clean isn't the point, you do that before you get in. It's about the soak, for 10-15 minutes in really hot water. Not surprisingly the Japanese are fanatical about it.
