Learned nothing- except perhaps that some people find a relationship between a woman and a man ten years younger than her plausible, acceptable and functional. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72566471 to: Pursuit (Audiobook) by Thomas Perry
bookshelves: mystery
It was dry and unemotional. The story itself was detailed and well thought out - yet I did not find it enjoyable. The only thing that makes me smile as I think about the book is the author's need to darken and soil the character of one of the minor female characters just before she is murdered by the story's psychopath. It seems that he (Thomas Perry) did not want to cause undue agitation to the average reader by killing off a character who has become familiar to them. So she ends up mentally rejecting marriage because then she will not get paid for having sex with a/the man, and she ends up recalling somewhat in a matter-of-fact way the night when she allows her friend to OD just to save her own skin. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76878000 to: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (Paperback) by Mark Haddon

Although the book has started out slow and the writing was a bit on the stale side - I still very much enjoyed the protagonist - a woman who survived the worst, a woman who had to survive being a survivor, and a woman whose circumstances end up forcing her to heal. That made me happy.

It summarized well the current understanding of the human brain. Its subject overlapped with other books I have read before - so occasionally I found it a bit tedious. But if he were to write a new book I would want to read that as well. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74994988 The Naked Brain: How the Emerging Neurosociety is Changing How We Live, Work, and Love (Hardcover) by Richard Restak
