Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube by Blair Braverman
Rate this book
Clear rating
Wasn't sure about this one at first -- it seemed to be straddling an uncomfortable line between travel journalism and memoir. But as the story progressed, I found myself getting deeper into Braverman's life in Norway and the people she bonded with th ...more

Archie Bunker for President by Oscar Winberg
Rate this book
Clear rating
An interesting slice of television history. It's unclear just how much All in the Family influenced political culture and how much it was a reflection of the times, but it does seem like something was happening there. ...more

The Score by C. Thi Nguyen
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is essential reading for anybody who works in games, and maybe everyone else too. Nguyen explores the difference between rules of games (which invite playful assumptions of values) and the control of metrics (which often capture values and force ...more

The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 3 by Gail Simone
Rate this book
Clear rating
Simone continues to develop her themes of the X-Men living a more public life as part of their local communities -- interesting stuff that is hard to develop while keeping a healthy balance of wacky superpowered throwdowns.

Batman/Superman by Mark Waid
Rate this book
Clear rating
Sidekicks! This volume leads off with a side trip through time for Dick Grayson, who gets to visit the 1890s and solve a mystery. It's a charming take on the time-lost heroes story that used to pop up regularly in Batman and Superman comics, and the ...more

Super Sons by Peter J. Tomasi
Rate this book
Clear rating
More fun adventures! The flow between the stories was a little odd, probably because this collection seems to be built around several mini-series rather than an ongoing series. But I like spending time with Damian and Jon no matter what they're getti ...more

Goliath’s Curse by Luke Kemp
Rate this book
Clear rating
A book full of powerful ideas, but now I'm angry and disappointed. Kemp makes a compelling case for states and empires as glorified organized crime gangs that dominate through violence to extract lootable resources like grains, oil, and data. He also ...more

Amnesiac by Neil Jordan
Rate this book
Clear rating
I respect what I think Jordan is trying to do, which is to capture his memories in an impressionistic style that gives you a feel for how he remembers the different stages in his life. But I also want to have a strong sense of when and what is happen ...more

A Slowly Dying Cause by Elizabeth  George
Rate this book
Clear rating
Well-written and full of precise observations, but this is a dark, dark entry in the series. If you are looking for justice to be served, you may be disappointed, but George has a lot to say here about trauma and the ways that the various characters ...more
