Clint liked Cassie Gaines's review of Lying Bastard: "Type of book that goes over people heads as it points out the hypocrisy of wokeness and how it has become a stock commodity of career advancement. Must be able to laugh at social media idiots to get this one."

Clint and 1 other person liked stylelover's review of Lying Bastard: "I enjoyed this fast read very much for its witty yet somber satire. The story drew me in immediately and the ending reveal was surprising yet apropos. A disturbing message about the mundane lives of professors and the dullness and despair they suffer" Read more of this review »

Clint and 37 other people liked Oliver A's review of The City and Its Uncertain Walls: "DNF at about 23% I am a long-time fan of Murakami but this book is not good. Once the English version has been out for longer, I'll look up some more reviews and see if it's worth finishing, but everything until about page 100 is eye-rollingly boring."

Clint and 6 other people liked Kim's review of The Invention of the Darling: Poems: "Li-Young Lee is one of contemporary poetry’s greats, but this is not his greatest work. He’s trying for something very big here—a rewriting of creation and Judeo-Christian religious texts. The lines are elegant and spare, but the images are cryptic. " Read more of this review »
