| 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 | |

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 ...more |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

I've written about some recent murder mysteries I've read that they might help get you through some travel time. The multiple-award-winning The Man Who Saw Seconds will make that time simply disappear. The setup: A mild-mannered man who, since pubert ...more |
