Intense, gripping ghost story. I wish I could find more books to read that are as well-written as this one. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77701159 to: Twilight of the Superheroes: Stories (Paperback) by Deborah Eisenberg
Ok, these stories are truly well-written and yet I couldn't really get into them. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77701008 to: American Romances: Essays (Paperback) by Rebecca Brown
Hard to describe this collection of essays, but I enjoyed them. Rebecca Brown is brilliant but sometimes not very entertaining. These essays, however, delighted me. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77700611 to: Audition (Mass Market Paperback) by Michael Shurtleff
There are some interesting tidbits in here, but most of the book is pretty boring if you are not trying to learn how to be an actor. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75187869 to: The Headmaster Ritual (Paperback) by Taylor Antrim
Predictable and unsympathetic characters. Didn't finish. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75040674 to: The Greeks and Greek Love: A Radical Reappraisal of Homosexuality in Ancient Greece (Hardcover) by James Davidson
This is an academic book, huge and dense, lots of footnotes. I just dipped into it here and there. Davidson is a great writer though - very entertaining. His overall goal is to look at same sex relationships in ancient Greece calmly and curiously as a correction both to the earlier generations of scholars who were scandalized by it and the scholarship of the last twenty years which went in the opposite direction and suddenly insisted that every mention of male-male love should be interpreted as an allusion to anal sex. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74886808 to: Her Fearful Symmetry (Hardcover) by Audrey Niffenegger
Hmm. No sure what to say. It's a pretty sad and hopeless book. There were a lot of things I found unbelievable: Valentine's big decision, Robert's feelings about her. Martin was my favorite character -- it was almost like he was in a different book. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74849188 to: Write Now The Complete Program for Better Handwriting, Revised Edition (Paperback) by Barbara Getty
