2026.Book34 - Canon (Lewis)

 Pretty good, endearing, kind-hearted to all. Best jokes: band t-shirts and army volunteers

2026.Book33 - Babel (Kuang)

What Oxfordian hurt this author? Minor craft-level misses (21st-century NA phrases, handcuff anachronism, leer vs. sneer, denigrate vs. degenerate). Larger scale, plot is one-eye-closed mass murder revenge fantasy

2026.Book32 - The Fraud (Smith)

 Excellent, more-real 19th century 

2026.Book31 - Nonesuch (Spufford)

 Excellent, not too many things as some have said. Last three words are a copout but maybe that's to be expected from Spufford, not exactly one to bite bullets
