"It causes me no joy to give any comic written by Alan Moore one star, but this is how it has to be. Now, before I write a single word more, let me start with this simple disclaimer: I consider Alan Moore the best writer to have ever worked in comics...more "

bookshelves: grad-school, library-book, poetry
I picked this up in a mini-survey of 'deep image' poets. Many of the poems were difficult to access because they were deeply concerned with contemporary politics and the historical moment when they were written; I had a better time with the poems that dealt with death, artistic renewal and other universal themes, where the imagery could find more space to resonate in this 2008 reader. ]]> 31975902 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:33:18 -0700 Review27761575 <![CDATA[Felicity added 'The Daughter of Time']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27761575

to: The Daughter of Time (Audio CD) by Josephine Tey
bookshelves: audiobook, fiction, history, mystery, novel, reread
Tey's work is always idiosyncratic and intriguing. This one is particularly so, and it's almost strange to me that it's considered a "murder mystery". So that I'm not over-cryptic, I'll say that it's a novel where a laid-up Scotland Yard detective seeks the help of a history grad student to poke into one of the famous stories of British history. Never has history, its mutability and its injustice, been more charmingly and easily taught.

And if you like audiobooks, DO pick this one up in that format. It's an unabridged reading by Sir Derek Jacobi, which is of course splendid. ]]> 31975667 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:19:47 -0700 Review27761409 <![CDATA[Felicity added 'A Certain Justice']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27761409 A Certain Justice (Compact Disc) by P.D.

to: Original Sin (Compact Disc) by P.D. James
bookshelves: audiobook, fiction, mystery, novel
Classic Dalgliesh novel. Perspective dancing from one character to the next, so that even the misfits and marginalized in the story are understandable and human. I like the setting of Innocent House and the presence of the Thames. Some rich conflicts and plot payoffs. ]]> 31957929 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:38:44 -0700 Review27746524 <![CDATA[Felicity added 'Incognegro']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27746524 Incognegro (Hardcover) by Mat Johnson

More of the blank spots are filled in as Planetary continues. High points are the Ayres Rock episode and our first encounter with Kim Suskind. ]]>
