How to Know a Person by David  Brooks
Rate this book

I don't have a lot to say about How To Know a Person, other than it ought to be used as a textbook for our kids from middle school on. Brooks has been on a quest, essentially, to become a better person. And here he shares his learning of the many way ...more

Son of Nobody by Yann Martel
Rate this book
Clear rating
Yan Martel is a marvel. I, like millions of others, adored Life of Pi. The follow-up, The High Mountains of Portugal, attracted far less attention, but to my mind, it was even more enchanting.

Martel's new novel, Son of Nobody, will likely appeal to a

The Strange Case of Jane O. by Karen Thompson Walker

Clear rating
The Strange Case of Jane O had me at "If The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was fiction." But, in fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. It might be the most aggravating book I've ever read because it's not bad out of the gate and all the ...more

I've been thinking about The Sellout for a while because it might be, pound for pound, the most savagely funny book I've ever read. Just about every line offers one or two (or more) brilliantly articulated satirical observations, descriptions, and/or ...more

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy

3.5

I thought Jenny McCurdy's memoir, I'm Glad My Mom is Dead, was terrific. Half His Age reads like a sequel, but it's a novel about a seventeen-year-old girl's affair with her (ahem) English teacher. The writing is again excellent: it's raw (and exp

Evil Genius

Clear rating
Evil Genius is darkly hilarious and sharply observant--and the precise/articulate writing makes it a pleasure to read. It's 1974, and Celia Dent, a phone company employee, is slowly but surely becoming conscious of how "her Drew" abuses her. It's got ...more

Annie Bot is a robot Cuddle Bunny purchased by a man after his divorce. With her organic skin, she is indistinguishable from a real woman, and, as an "autodidactic" model, she can learn and experience feelings. It may seem absurd, but you will genuin ...more
