	Will gave to: Love in the Time of Cholera (Paperback) by Gabriel García Márquez	my rating:
	read in July, 2008 Will said: "300 pages of this guy declaring his love for a woman who married someone else and pays NO ATTENTION TO HIM was really annoying. Okay, the final act where he finally actively courts her when they're both in their 70s was cool. Those 50 pages were g...more " add a comment
	Will gave to: The Time Traveler's Wife (Hardcover) by Audrey Niffenegger	my rating:
	Will said: "I wanted to find this book too sentimental, but it was really good and fun and sad. " add a comment

	Will gave to: The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3) by Philip Pullman	my rating:
	recommended for: Smart kids sick of being babied read in April, 2008 Will said: "Great! Stakes get higher and higher, and everything works out in a satisfying way. Compared to TV serials (Lost, Battlestar Galactica) and even more cherished fantasy epics (Lord of The Rings) -- this one feels neat and well-thought out. I never doub...more " add a comment
	Will gave to: The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Book 2) by Philip Pullman	my rating:
	read in March, 2008 Will said: "Better than the first. The stakes get impressively high. " add a comment
	Will gave to: It Can't Happen Here (Paperback) by Sinclair Lewis	my rating:
	recommended for: curmudgeonly newspaper editors read in April, 2008 Will said: "I like it!

	Will gave to: The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Book 2) by Philip Pullman	my rating:
	recommended for: smart kids; adults about to take a long subway ride read in March, 2008 Will said: "Better than Golden Compass. The stakes get higher; the villains are creepier. There's a real edge and dark streak to these books that makes them better than children's books to me. I don't mean to OVER-rave -- it's still more of a page-turner than so...more " add a comment

	Will gave to: The Simulacra (Paperback) by Philip K. Dick	my rating:
	Will said: "This is PKD's batshit craziness taking too too far. A million ideas crammed together. There is a jug band duo who uses a Martian animal to hypnotize crowds into adoring them; a near-omnipotent telepath who feels his body odor kills people; a law that...more " add a comment

	Will gave to: The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1) by Philip Pullman	my rating:
	recommended for: smart kids read in March, 2008 Will said: "I dug it. Not like crazy "I'm now obsessed with this world" dug it, but pleasantly turning the pages dug it. The daemon idea is very compelling, as is my wish that that word was pronounced "day-mon." I like that for a supposed ...more " 1 comments
