2023.Book8 many loves dobie gillis (shulman) -

 funny entertaining

2023.Book7 - Thus Was Adonis Murdered (Caudwell)

 Delightful. I didn't remember most of it.

2023.Book6 - Happy-Go-Lucky (Sedaris)

 Usual high-quality amusement.

2023.Book5 - Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont

 Pretty good, kind and empathetic

2023.Book4 - Idiot Girl (Notaro)

 Pretty funny, memoir.

2023.Book3 - Stella Maris (McCarthy)

 Also pretty good. The blind universe/black fire image was unsettling. Insufficient ridicule of mathematical platonism.

2023.Book2 - The Passenger (McCarthy)

 Western's conversations with his associates are entertaining - at least the associates are. ("Hot weather came, and I had to let her go.", "Once they start sweeping the floors and washing the plates with soap, it's all over.")

The math and physics were interesting but didn't really go anywhere. Mentioned, not used.

2023.Book1 - Throw Me to the Wolves (McGuinness)

 enjoyable.
