2011.Book27 - Julian Comstock (Wilson)
Excellent. Fantastic post-apocalypse-nineteenth-century story. Wow.

2011.Book25 - Jumper (Gould)
Excellent SF/thriller. Not really SF by the Ken MacLeod definition (humans using tools), but it is by the R. Scott Bakker definition (an expanding world)

2011.Book23 - Marune (Vance)
Pretty good SF. Good story obscured by pedantic style (annoying footnotes -- and I love footnotes)

2011.Book22 - Trullion (Vance)
Good old-school SF. More about characters than environment or tools, so maybe not "echt" SF.
2011.Book21 - The Master and Margarita (Bulgakov)
Very good weirdo fantasy. Lots of jokes about Moscow literary establishment that I didn't get.

2011.Book19 - Kraken (Mieville)
Very good weird fantasy. Better in retrospect. The page-by-page experience is not as good as the memory.

2011.Book16 - The Tipping Point (Gladwell)
Pretty good. Interesting stories, don't really back up the theory.

2011.Book10 - Best Served Cold (Abercrombie)
Very good new-style epic fantasy. Revenge, betrayal, violence, sex, and humour.

2011.Book9 - Room (Donoghue)
Pretty good. First half's button-pushing thriller. Second half's goal-less fish-out-of-water.
