In this Japanese novel (translated), a young woman agrees to become a surrogate, then isn't thrilled about her decision.
Interesting story. Feels very Japanese (of course). 3.5 stars

This thriller is about an enterprise planned by a British MP and an American business magnate; a plan that goes terribly wrong and requires a cover-up.
Good story. 4 stars

If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino. Experimental, meta, cyclical ruminations on the nature of reading written in second person ‘you’. Smart but gimmicky.
