March Book Post

The theory is that I'm reading to the moon and one page = 1 kilometer. You can hit the 'reading to the moon' tag to see past entries.

This update includes 14 books or 3800 pages.

On my graphic, that looks like this:

6706 / 384403
1.746%


Alex Sanchez - Rainbow Boys. Alex Sanchez is a really talented writer. This is again, Young Adult, but more on the adult end of things. Addresses so many important things.

Fabian Nicieza - Cable & Deadpool: The Human Race. Still much <3.

Fabian Nicieza - Cable & Deadpool: Bosom Buddies. Hahaha. I'm still laughing about this one.

Paul Auster - Invisible. A rather disturbing book. Graphic incest. Murder. Manipulation.

E. Lynn Harris - Invisible Life. Thought-provoking novel about bisexuality in the life of a black male.

Fabian Nicieze - Cable & Deadpool: Living Legends. Bahahahahaha. I quoted a quarter of this book to chat. For reals.

Suzanne Brockmann - The Unsung Hero. An easy read, certainly. Not my usual, but not necessarily that different in feel from some of the fanfic I read.

Alex Sanchez - So Hard to Say. It's about a kid who thinks he's gay, told from his perspective and the perspective of the girl who's interested in him. Very well done.

A. Lee Martinez - Divine Misfortune. It's the gods at their best, full of squabbles and petty disagreements, and board games. A rather funny book.

Seanan McGuire - A Local Habitation. Rosemary and Rue (the first book in the series) had disappointed me. This didn't. In fact, I thought it had just the balance of humor and drama which it needed.

Jonathan Lethem - Motherless Brooklyn. Interesting. Much better than his collection of short stories (but I loathed those, so). Unique narrative voice.

John Williams - Stoner. Compelling like a train crash. (Which isn't to say it's badly written, just that it's not an optimistic tale of love and academic triumph.)

Mohja Kahf - The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf. Not as good as her poetry, after all, it's not concentrated the way that was, but still a beautiful piece of literature. There are times I want to rage at Khadra (the main character), times I want to give her a hug, and times she puts into words some of the thoughts I have.

Alex Sanchez - The God Box. As long as his books continue to be good, I won't feel guilty about getting them from interlibrary loan only to read them in a day.

Bold if I'd highly recommend them.
