Book 21: A History of Violence (Wagner)

Good graphic novel. Can now see why Cronenberg did the movie.

Book 20: Surprised by Hope (Wright)

Very good semi-popular theology on the end.

Book 19: Mr B. Gone (Barker)

OK horror. Most books bring you in by putting the protagonist in jeopardy. This one tries to put you in jeopardy, but it's not convincing. Angel/demon negotiations were pretty cool.

Book 18: Little Brother (Doctorow)

Spectacular. Every North American should read it.

Book 17: Mothers and Other Monsters (McHugh)

Short stories. Competent, but not for me.

Book 16: Watch Your Back (Westlake)

Decent Dortmunder novel. Don't know who that support group at the end were, though!

Book 15: Ficciones (Borges)

Excellent short stories. Philosophical, academic, fantastic.
