C. Year of first publication ends in 7: 2007
The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen
Like many readers, I have become a great fan of Scandinavian crime novels and this entry from Denmark did not disappoint! In fact, I found the characters quite engaging. Karl, the "washed up" (but luckily not really) police officer gets put at the head of Department Q, a new department set up to look into cold cases. He is full of cynicism and not too interested in his cases until his able assistant, Asad, begins to pick up details of the case and show him up causing him to come partly out of his lethargy and take up the reigns again. I can't say much more without spoilers, but I am anxiously awaiting book 2 and hope it will fit into the Winter Challenge somewhere!

RwS Task20.5 – In honor of the lab experiment of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde:
As She Climbed Across the Table by Jonathan Lethem
My poor knowledge of physics held me back at the beginning of this one, but as I came to understand that the scientists had created a strange black hole and named it Lack I started to grasp the story and enjoy it. Alice is one of the creators and one of the experiments the scientists perform is to feed things into Lack and see what is accepted and what is rejected. Our Alice becomes obsessed with Lack, but can't seem to get "through the looking glass". Obviously, her relationship with her boyfriend suffers and that is a main theme of this volume. I have a collection of Jonathan Lethem books that I have yet to read, so I was glad to get a chance to enjoy his unusual book from the science list!

RwS Task20.8 - Kate S’ Task – Veteran’s Day, November 11th:
His Illegal Self by Peter Carey
His Illegal Self took me back to my teen years and the stories of the Students for a Democratic Society that permeated the news at the time. Che, a 7 year old whose parents ran from the law during this turbulent time, is taken from his grandparents home by Dial, a young woman who takes him to Australia and a hippie commune where they live and bond. I listened to the book and although I enjoyed the narration, I think it is one I want to re-read in print some day. I lost focus and got confused with parts of the story early on, so I'd like to re-visit the book sometime to clear up those confusions. I found Che to be an endearing character and I enjoyed the book for that alone. I want to read more of the Carey books I have waiting on my shelf, too.

10.1 - Square PegThe Casual Vacancy - JK Rowling
This book was kind of frustrating for me. I picked it up the day it came out, but it ended up taking me the better part of a month to finish it. It just didn't draw me in. There were a lot of characters that, in my opinion, didn't really end up furthering the plot at all. In fact, the wide cast of characters was the main reason I had such a hard time getting into the story. By the time I would start really caring about one character, the narrative would swing around to the next character. Rinse, lather and repeat for the entire duration of the book. By the time the book came to its climax, it just felt rushed and thrown together. It could have been much stronger, but unfortunately Rowling just didn't know how to tie it all together.

10.3 Garfunkel Reading ListThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat & Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks
Review: I wish that Oliver Sacks would publish a revised edition of this book. The case studies here are fascinating, but I'm now desperately curious to know what additional speculation he would have about the conditions of these patients with twenty more years of neurological research to inform his thinking. Sacks does an excellent job of using big medical terms in ways that make it possible for the lay reader to understand what he's talking about. I enjoyed the sensitivity with which he tried to understand the almost impossible to empathize with conditions of these patients. What must it be like to not be able to recognize faces? Or objects? What would it feel like to have lost any sense of one's own limbs? Definitely worth reading, but would be much improved by a new edition.

10.2 OctoberfestToward Liquor Control by Raymond B. Fosdick
Both of the authors of this book are U.S. authors.
Review: This is surprisingly relevant today. For work, I've been learning about the regulation of the liquor market. It's more complicated and far more interesting than I'd ever suspected. Reading this book brought home how many of the issues that states are struggling with today were already part of the conversation as long ago as 1933 when this study was published. The authors anticipated the balancing necessary between market forces that drive volume sales and societal desire for temperance. Though this is recommended reading for anyone interested in the history of alcohol regulation, it's pretty technical and not written to be a fun or public-interest sort of read.

20.8 Veterans DayVanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
Lexile 1260
Review:
Thackeray's famous classic describes middle class society of the early 19th century, with particular focus on the amoral social climbing of Miss Rebecca Sharp.
The beginning and end of this are great, but the middle really dragged for me. I thought we could have lost 200 pages there with no problem at all.
John Carey in his introduction suggests this is the greatest English novel and comparable with War and Peace. I don't agree. It's true that it's way ahead of its time in the portrayal of a female antihero in Becky Sharp, but that's not enough to put it up there with War and Peace for me. (In fact the only novel I've read so far that stands up against War and Peace is Les Misérables.) As for English novels, I think Tom Jones, Pride and Prejudice and David Copperfield all beat Vanity Fair easily - and plenty more too.

Task 10.9: Anika's Task - To be ContinuedMockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Review:
For me this third instalment in The Hunger Games series was a bit of a let-down. It had its moments, some of them quite in the flavour of the earlier two books, but it wasn't as action packed as the previous two were. For a long time in the book nothing seemed to happen, and District 13 for the most part turned out to be... well... boring.
I would have liked to see more from Katniss and Peeta in terms of action, but sadly it came only in short bursts. It was only in the last 80 pages or so where the pace really picked up and it finally seemed like the book was getting towards the end that Collins should have designed from the beginning. I liked the end but for some reason was left feeling like it lacked complete closure.
Nevertheless this is a good series overall, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of YA.

The Diamond of Drury Lane by Julia Golding 800 Lexile
Cat Royal is a great character making her way through life in the theater and on the streets of Drury Lane in 1790s London. She’s a young girl dealing with the mores of the time; a brave girl caught in a man’s world and absorbed in the mystery of the Diamond of Drury Lane. There’s lots of action as a street gang leader tries to get to the hidden diamond and the new theater performer, Pedro, tries to make his way as an actor and friend to Cat conquering his past as a slave. The rival gang embraces Pedro and supports Cat, but won’t make her a member since she’s a girl. It’s the first book of a series, so I’m eager to read more of Cat’s adventures. The historical London setting is well researched so this book is recommended to those who enjoy historical fiction and a good story.

20.2 The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery #98 on list, Lexile 870Review
L.M Montgomery is famous for her Anne of Avonlea series as well as other books of young girls set in her native Prince Edward Island in Canada. This book is a stand alone about a 29 yr old woman trapped in the clutches of her family, who care more about appearances and what is right by Victorian standards rather than what common humanity does. In a way it reminds me of Mark Twain’s writing in his scorn for the code of social restrictions without the humor because this is more a romance where the girl by happenstance receives news that gives her the courage to defy her family and search for happiness. With the ending we again are reminded of the hypocrisy, greed and selfishness of this family contain in microcosm what the rest of society’s behaviors at the time were like.
There is quite a bit of prose on the natural world, painting the wilds of Canada as an untouched wonderland in all its seasons that is absolutely delicious to savor. A fairly light read but a beautiful book to read for the pure enjoyment of it, preferably in a sunny nook in an old comfortable seat.

20.8 Veterans DayLonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
Review:
I saw something that said "if you only read one Western, read this one" and I think that's probably what I'll do! This was so good, it's hard to imagine anything else following it. The characters and the description of the country really drew me in.
The ending was a little frustrating - it would have been good to have more of a positive feeling there - but for me it didn't detract from the whole book. It's a long book but it never felt long. I loved all the characters, even the ones I loved to hate, and it really brought to life the dry, deserted and dangerous country they were passing through.

20.2 Wurthering HeightsJude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy When i first started wreading this is was tied at #149.
********Spoiler Alert!******
Review
Art Garfunkel read this book a couple of times and listed it as one of his favorites and I have no idea why he did. I wish I knew more about Thomas Hardy and what was going on in his life when he wrote this book. I found one of the main characters, Sue Brideshead, annoying and the book irritating in general. I listened on audiobook and couldn’t wait for it to end. Sue seems a silly woman and even based on the morals of the time, she seems more selfish and clueless than any other character I’ve met. The men who love her and go along with her are just as silly. She can’t make up her mind about anything and spreads havoc and ruin wherever she goes and she is the least affected by it. Sue wants to have a man in her life but not really in her home, more as a spiritual, intellectual partner than a real husband. She’s in love with her first cousin, the title character, and he more so with her. Yet he marries another and then she turns around and marries the teacher of the school she works in who is eighteen years her senior. From the beginning she admits she has no wifely love for him and refuses to consummate her marriage. She learns her Cousin Jude’s wife; Arabella has left him to be with another man. She gets her husband to let her go and be with Jude but she doesn’t consummate that union either. As headmaster, her husband is stripped of his job for his scandalous conduct in allowing his wife to live with another man, never again to be able to work in his chosen profession. Jude had dreams of becoming a minister of the clergy but she convinced him that religion was really meaningless and shouldn’t be able to control their private lives, so he continues work as a mason. Most of his jobs are in churches and when their arrangement gets noticed, he loses all his jobs. Meanwhile his first wife asks for a divorce and he gives it, but drops a surprise on him. They had a son and now at the age of five or so, she decided Jude should be his caretaker. Sue agrees to this. Sue asks for a divorce from her husband and that leaves the two free to marry. I forgot how many times they decide to get married and then change their minds, once at a government office outside of church, then in a church almost twice. The problem is Sue is convinced that once they are married they will no longer love one another. She convinces him too that as long as they don’t have that piece of paper they will always have passion for one another but once they get it, they will quarrel and start to hate one another. Sue, it’s not the ceremony that changes your behavior; YOU are the one responsible for your behavior. Own up to it. See what I mean about being silly? They raise Jude’s son who as having always been unloved and unwanted is a morbid little thing. Sue finally gives in and she and Jude have two more children and she is pregnant with a third, when Jude takes it into his head to go back to the place where they first lived together and had been reviled. They go but have trouble getting rooms because of the children. When they do find lodging, Sue blithely explains to the landlady that she and Jude never actually married. (What was she thinking!!!?). So in her depression that she and the children must be turned out the very next day, she confides to Jude’s son, that life is so unbearable, it is better to never have been born and that having children makes life all the harder. She is not trying to make him feel bad per se; she is just using him as someone to vent her frustration to as if he were a grown man. So the next morning as she looks for another place, the little boy hangs his two siblings and himself. Sue goes berserk and loses the child she carries, decides it’s her punishment and she must return to her first husband, not to sleep with him but just to live with him. Jude is devastated. He has been ill for some time. His first wife meets him again and is now a widow. She tricks him into marrying her although he spends all his time sick and pining for Sue. At last he goes to meet her. She kisses him, tells him he is her true love but she will never, ever see him again. He’s devastated and goes home to die, alone, while his wife is at a festival with other men. Sue goes back and tells her husband what she did, supposedly so she can break his heart again but finally agrees to sleep with him however repulsive it may be to her. The End. What??? What was the point of all those hundreds of pages? All I know is I’d never want Sue for a friend and I’d warn those two men about her. Also I would never let her babysit my child.

20.8 Veterans DayThe Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Review:
Not as impenetrable as I expected, this book has a lot to say about Russia, religion, justice and 'just desserts'. The three brothers are very different: there's the eldest one who messes up other people's lives, especially women's, and has been cheated out of his inheritance by his father - or has he; the intense, political, atheist second brother, intensely selfish without realising it, who hurts women just as much without intending to; and the good, almost Christ-like one, who seems to be unable to do wrong and yet accepts and forgives it in other people. And then of course there's the fourth 'brother' who doesn't have the Karamazov name at all, but has a huge chip on his shoulder because he was illegitimate. It all leads up to their father's murder and the court case that follows.
Dostoevsky seems an intensely masculine writer to me and I don't appreciate that as much as I do a writer like Tolstoy but I certainly admired this and although I read it in small chunks I was never tempted to give up.

+30 Task
Task Total: 30
Grand Total: 1025 + 30 = 1055
Review: This is the second novel by S.L. Viehl that I’ve read – and the second novel wherein the heroine has major conflicts with her father. In this science fiction novel, the first of a series, both the heroine and father are medical doctors. She rejects her father’s views on life (including medical ethics), and she leaves Terra (Earth) for a multispecies frontier colony. Oddly enough, all the alien species think and act like humans, even though they have decidedly non-human bodies. (The charge nurse looks like a gigantic spider LOL.) Overall, this is an entertaining but not original story. The novel ends with a definitive TO BE CONTINUED, with a few plotlines unresolved. Recommended for science fiction fans.

20.7 Women Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Review: David Mitchell's novel made of nested stories is all over the place right now with the movie in theaters, so I felt compelled to pick it up and see what all the fuss is about. I really should know better, since I tend to apply higher standards to books that get a lot of hype. Plus, I don't really like short story/novella collections that much.
I do admire Mitchell's structural shenanigans. Whether or not it's gimmicky, the interwoven and nested story ploy was new to me. The fact that he did manage to write in different styles was also interesting, even if the styles were taken over the top. It's still a feat to tie all of this together into some sort of cohesive whole. And I actually enjoyed some of the stories - most of all the ones written in the styles I tend to prefer in general. As for the plot or the point - well, I'm actually not really sure I have any insight into that at all. Maybe I should see the movie and hope it clears some things up.
