Robot Hound of the Baskervilles terrorizes London. Just Kidding! Will post review when finished. We own the first four titles of this series now, and would be glad to lend you one or all. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78258334 to: Let the Great World Spin: A Novel (Hardcover) by Colum McCann
Update: This novel won the National Book Award for 2009.

free PDF from Oprah (that I can email you if you'd like). This is a, shall we say, Oprah-ish book (The Road notwithstanding). But a well-executed multiple narrative of 1970s New York City. Visually arresting prose at its best; bring a hankie or Anti-Sneer Cream for the more emotional bits. Despite my narrative predilections, an enjoyable read. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78259688 to: Pompeii (Paperback) by Robert Harris
Kinda sucked. Historically evocative, but not enough suspense leading us up to Pompeii: Judgment Day. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78259264 to: A Man in Full (Paperback) by Tom Wolfe
Funny and compelling dual trip with a Master of the Universe and a putative water-holder of the Universe. Spoiler alert: their roles reverse, with allegorical consequences. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78257853 to: A Princess of Mars (Audio CD) by Edgar Burroughs
Actually printed out a PDF of this from Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?id=ws18cmj...). Great, hilarious adventure from the author of Tarzan: King of the Apes. Spoiler alert: there are also Space Apes. A truly enjoyable read for the escapist adventure fiction reader. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78257495 Three Jacobean Tragedies: The White Devil; The Revenger's Tragedy; The Changeling (English Library) by Thomas Middleton

Though this reproduces plays I have in the giant Drama of the Restoration, Volume 2, this paperback is much more handy. Anybody who like Steven King, Thomas Harris, heck even Matt Reilly should check out John Webster's two masterpieces, The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75993794 2666: A Novel (Paperback) by Roberto Bolaño

Free from twitter- may never read this burgeoning Mexican David Foster Wallace-style doorstop. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77494263 to: Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet (Target Doctor Who Library) by Gerry Davis
The Cybermen, familiar and formidable foes of our Doctor, make their debut, with deadly results. For Earthlings. Can the Doctor and his 1970s English sociocultural stereotype human friends save us? (Earthlings in the Year 2000, which though now in the past at the time of writing was in the future. Space travel is a regular thing. I'll handle this... the only danger in space is if we land on the terrible Planet of the Apes... wait a minute. Statue of Liberty... THAT WAS OUR PLANET! YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU!
