11 books down in 5/15. Literature in translation, some classics, some light/funny work, assorted miscellanea, and a couple of lit mags (Thrice has officially hooked me). It was a good month.
Best Book: Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon” -lots of fun, classic genre fiction at its best.
Worst Book: Dave Eggers’s “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius”. Well, maybe not the worst, (I can’t argue that it’s badly written) but certainly the most annoying and least rewarding. A longer review is forthcoming…
