2011.Book47 - Blandings Castle and Elsewhere (Wodehouse)

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)

Pretty good style book. Not too dry.

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.

2011.Book43 - Curtains (Jokinen)

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

2011.Book42 - Nice Recovery (Juby)

Very good recovery memoir.

2011.Book41 - Borderlands (Lundy)

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

2011.Book40 - War (Junger)

Good embedded reporting from Afghanistan

2011.Book39 - The Devil and Sherlock Holmes (Grann)

Good investigative journalism. I liked Frederic Bourdin and the Aryan Brotherhood the best.

2011.Book38 - The Road (McCarthy)

Pretty good. Ending kind of pulls the punch, but it's really about only people. Only.

2011.Book37 - The Mind Parasites (Wilson)

Pretty good. SF version of Wilson's ideas.

2011.Book36 - The Steel Remains (Morgan)

Very good epic fantasy, with a surprising amount of gay alien sex.

2011.Book35 - Forgotten God (Chan)

Pretty good.

2011.Book34 - Black Man (Morgan)

Good SF.

2011.Book33 - Small Gods (Pratchett)

Pretty good Pratchett. He often seems to lose it a bit in his finales, but pretty good.

2011.Book32 - The Outsider (Wilson)

Very interesting stuff.

2011.Book31 - Quarantine (Egan)

Excellent SF. Maybe the worst thing about the Copenhagen interpretation being bogus is that it would wreck the plot of this novel.

2011.Book30 - The National Dream (Berton)

Good Canadian history.

2011.Book29 - The Heroin Diaries (Sixx)

Drugs are boring. Skips recovery.

2011.Book28 - The Pale King (Wallace)

Very good Wallace. Typically digressive, smart, a little funny, sad, inspiring.
