Ordinarily, I am not a fantasy fan, but I really enjoyed this book. Reading it is like having a strange dream in which nothing makes sense, but you are carried along with the narrative because, well, you can't escape. That's how I felt reading Veronica. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75070929 to: Everything Is Illuminated: A Novel (Paperback) by Jonathan Safran Foer

Readers hoping to find out whether Sybylla Penelope Melvyn marries Harold Beecham will be extremely disappointed in My Career Goes Bung. I won't spoil the book for those who are able to track it down at a used bookstore, but I will advise that Bung is a clever sequel that toys with reader expectations and subverts the role of narrator even more thoroughly than My Brilliant Career. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78374569 to: Poems of Jerusalem and Love Poems (Sheep Meadow Poetry) by Yehuda Amichai
