I read widely and in most genres but romance and westerns. Here you'll find my reviews since 2007, with a few reviews of previously read books as well.
In 2012, I completed an "authors of the world" challenge, reading a book for every country (and a few other entities) by someone who'd lived there for at least two years. I expect to tag these books by challenge and country in the near future. I'm still refining my list by adding books that better meet my challenge criteria.
Books Read in the Past:I remember the premise, which given its failure to deliver is still enough, about 40 years later, to keep me from picking up Mieville's Railsea, which may be a fine and unobjectionable volume but shares with this one the idea of life lived unendingly on the rails. I remember understanding the Flatland-like component. Of the plot, I recall only that the beginning and end were confusing, which surprised me because the middle made a certain amount of sense. It was the first book to make me wonder if I could ask for my money back because the story was unsatisfying.
