The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I finally finished this! It was amusing; I can see why it appealed to my father. It was witty and artful, but I found it annoying after a while - too self-concious of itself in the historical parts, and the modern sections were less interesting than the historical ones.
Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reread. YES GOOD.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bought the whole set in e-book format in order to binge-read them as I used to do (not sure where my hard copies are; either dispersed to undergrads or with my little sister). The binge-reading experience on this book was excellent, exactly as engrossing and poignant as it used to be.
( Thoughts and noodlings on sex, dubcon, etc )
Currently Reading: Rosenwein's Emotional Communities. Student essays. Stuff.
Up Next: MOAR travelling pants. Also I'm expecting Hawkeye 1-5 'My Life as a Weapon' in the mail.
