Blandings is very good, elsewhere is OK. A little Wodehouse goes a long way.

2011.Book46 - Eating the Dinosaur (Klosterman)

(Mostly) shallow think about (mostly) interesting subjects.

2011.Book45 - Men's Style (Smith)

2011.Book44 - Dreaming to Some Purpose (Wilson)

Good auto-biography. He has some great ideas, but turned into a UFO crank near the end. I would say he would've been well-served to pick up some statistics, but I'm not sure how Bayes would handle the paranormal. His description of his writer's life sounds like doing a lot of hard work to not much effect. And it's probably no longer even possible to make a living that way.

Pretty good memoir about working in a funeral home. "Delivered through time".

Very good recovery memoir.

2011.Book41 - Borderlands (Lundy)

Pretty good travelog on the Canada/US and Mexico/US borders. Not optimistic.
