Enough autobiographical info to make a worthwhile read, but in the end too much football detail and fanaticism for a layman. Some insight into all sports mania I suppose, but you'd better be really skill-full if you hope to pass this off as a "book in general". ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77890612 Invisible (Hardcover) by Paul Auster

It's not like the greatest thing you will ever hear, but a treat for Old Radio fans and I believe a fairly rare example of PKD made into a radioplay. Please post any other examples of which you are aware... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75995267 The Travels of Marco Polo (Penguin Classics) by Marco Polo

Ever sense getting into GR, I've seen others' graphic novel reviews and have wanted to do more myself. I usually can't justify the cost of such books or my dollars are otherwise sucked up. But a friend recently loaned me this: completely enjoyable.
The art works, the story works. The only drag might be the length, as it seems too short. But when you take into the account the tellers simply took and anecdote from the '03 Iraq invasion and flushed out a backstory, perhaps the length is just right.

Great for younger readers (though I guess some semi-adult situations, non graphic) and those who might be "tricked" (Harry Potter style?) into reading more. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75100430 Outlaws of the Marsh (Chinese Classics 4-Volume Boxed Set) [BOX SET] by Shi Nai'an

by Jiang Rong

Are you seriously estimating the US pop. will be greater than the Chinese in 50 yrs?!? They are at 1.3 bil and US less than 300 mil. With the 1 bil head start, even if their birthrate were to slow DRAMATICALLY (and with the growing prosperity, it won't), exponential growth has them far outpacing. Not to mention it is FAR less expensive to have and raise a child in China. I am an American recently moved to Liaocheng, a "small" city of 6 mil. in Shandong, and am aghast you would make such a statement... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73384717 Wolf Totem (Hardcover) by Jiang Rong
