Book list March 2007
Mar. 31st, 2007 04:54 pmBook list for March 2007.
* The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey. apparently, this book is now out of print. this makes me very, very sad, as it's my ultimate comfort book, read over and over again since i was in my early teens and first discovered science-fiction.
* Fodor's See It Rome. i was actually very impressed with the quality of these travel guides - i also borrowed the Venice one. lots of good info, colorful pictures, and it covers pretty much every price range. i'd highly recommend them.
* No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong. sometimes i love working in a bookstore.
* Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong. and again, hurray for advance reading copies.
* Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson. it came highly recommended... and i'm not sure why. this book is ridiculous. really. don't bother.
* The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. this book didn't do very well, got lots of bad reviews. i'm wondering if the people who were so intent on tearing it apart had, in fact, ever read the Odyssey... this is aimed squarely at the Classics crowd, especially those who, like me, are particularly interested in the underlying currents of femininity in Classical litterature and the place of women in those societies that were so specifically focused on men and the so-called male sphere. a good, quick read.
