Starting off enjoyed this more then Yiddish Policeman's Union...About midway through he began to lose me, not bore me, just become less interesting. His recounting of his early sex life made me roll my eyes more then once. This book swung from tawdry feeling to deeply moving and insightful. ]]> <![CDATA[Eric added 'Riding the Rails']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79906707 Riding the Rails (Paperback) by Errol Lincoln Uys

Without a doubt one of the very best science fiction novels I have ever read.Dark and disturbing yet always beautiful and compelling, this is like a genre retelling of Dante, especially. I recommend this book to anyone, genre reader or not. ]]> <![CDATA[Eric added 'The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78105652 to: The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy (Paperback) by Jeanne Birdsall
Very well written with great characters, but the plot felt a bit thin. I "read" the audiobook which I don't recommend as the reader has cringe-worthy impressions of the characters, especially little kids and men. ]]> <![CDATA[Eric added 'City of Glass']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78859381 to: City of Glass (The New York Trilogy, #1) by Paul Auster
