bookshelves: currently-reading
I'm always seeing others provide thought-provoking quotes from Orwell's writings (other than Animal Farm and 1984). So I thought I would see for myself what the man has to say. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70537620 to: The Year's Best Science Fiction: 22nd Annual Collection (Paperback) by Gardner R. Dozois
bookshelves: science-fiction
Loaned to me by a friend whose opinion I trust. But this thing is huge! I skipped around in it. That's the upside of collections, I guess. It did remind me of the excitement I had as a teen-ager, waiting for the next edition of the SF magazines to come out. Enough so that I have subscribed to the e-book version of Analog. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81218251 Uglies (Uglies, #1) by Scott Westerfeld

meh.
[Audiobook note: This narrator was not nearly as good as the one for Wicked Lovely. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76873868 to: Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely, #1) by Melissa Marr
bookshelves: audiobooks, fantasy, young-adult---juvenile
Thoroughly enjoyable story. I've already started the sequel. There was practically no sex, per se, in the book. But the implied action made me glad I wasn't listening when my kids were in the car. [Audiobook note: the female narrator was much better than average at doing male characters' voices.] ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76268525 to: Looking for Alaska (Audio CD) by John Green
bookshelves: audiobooks, young-adult---juvenile
Not nearly as good as An Abundance of Katherines. Too much angst. Not enough humor. ]]>
