Fine fine read.

An excellent read. As I learn more about these fine creatures, I learn more about the human species.

I have always marveled at the birds around me, even the chickens we keep. Now I will learn why.

Deeply compassionate work like this is rare. I'm relishing every moment.

Finding my own soul in the wondrous words of Marilynne Robinson.

His Jazz poems are amazing.

Incisive analysis. So far a really intelligent read. By addressing Global Jihadism, Mr. Aslan has taken up the most important issue of our day and put it through the prism of all religious extremism. The 21st Century will be the field upon which all humanity will have to face its fears, its prejudices and its inclination toward violence to make social change.

A master writer in command of her tone. She walks the fine line between utter comic satire and the grimness of the negative utopia genre. Really enjoying it.

"He'd found Con in a tank top and Speedo shorts, a line of spiders tattooed up his arm, throwing a knife at an inside wall-- to be precise, throwing it at the outline of a naked woman drawn in purple marker-- while a few of his witless buddies passed spliffs and cheered him on."

Intensely truthful, painful verse. Gorgeous use of the word bruise.

Whoa. Blindsided by the swift passions of this collection of verse!

So funny and true. There are wondrous new epithets for San Francisco all over this book.

Masterful. I love finding myself back in the streets of my beloved Bay Area in this story of a young man who comes to terms with his late father through a chatbot program. Lovely prose.
