Giant by Edna Ferber
Giant
by Edna Ferber
read in May, 2013
Pretty much every character in this book is utterly unlikeable. Also, I feel like Ferber relied on too many literary tricks to cover for her rather lackluster writing and story — playing with the timeline, cliffhangers that are barely resolved. The b...more

The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
The Year of Magical Thinking
by Joan Didion
read in March, 2013
This book came into my life at an oddly serendipitous time when I had death on my mind a lot. Maybe that's why it took me so long to read it. In general, it was pretty good, if not a bit repetitive, and you also get the idea Didion is white-washing t...more

The Folly of the World by Jesse Bullington
The Folly of the World
by Jesse Bullington (Goodreads Author)
read in December, 2012
This book came into my office (I work at a newspaper) just a few days after I'd returned from a trip to Amsterdam. Despite having never heard of the author, I read the cover and it seemed relevant to my recent interests, so I decided to take it home....more

The Night of the Gun by David Carr
The Night of the Gun
by David Carr
read in December, 2012
Though his premise is to write a "researched" recovery memoir (Carr is currently a journalist at the New York Times) this book does little to elevate it above the wave of drug memoirs that already exist. I do like the idea of attempting to beat the f...more
