2012.Book42 - Taft (Patchett)
Pretty good novel. Patchett's other stuff is set in weird situations, but this one's pretty normal.

2012.Book33 - The Oligarchs (Hoffmann)
Interesting history of the people who took over when economic restrictions were lifted in the former Soviet Union. Hoffmann goes out of his way to demonize those who came before and after the oligarchs, who can only look good in comparison, if that.

2012.Book32 - Empire of the Mind (Axworthy)
Pretty interesting history of Iran/Persia. An amazing, war-torn part of the world. Who knew Khan and Tamburlaine were such genocidaires?

2012.Book28 - Tough Shit (Smith)
Pretty bad auto-bio. Sometimes entertaining, not funny, ultimately self-indulgent.

2012.Book26 - Small Favor (Butcher)
Very good Dresden. Reading the series backwards isn't a great idea, though.
