2022.Book18 - Lonely Boy (Jones)

 Pretty interesting. One work of art and the right publicity can last a lifetime.

2022.Book17 - The Song of the Lark (Cather)

 Excellent. Loved it. Great novel about art.

2022.Book16 - The Music Lesson (Wooten)

 Some very good stuff, mixed in with a kind of ridiculous frame story.

2022.Book15 - Dead Lions (Harron)

 Pretty enjoyable follow-up. Kind of funny how Webb keeps getting beaten up.

2022.Book14 - Slow Horses (Harron)

 Pretty good, entertaining stuff.

2022.Book13 - The Professor's House (Cather)

 Excellent. Trying to understand the place of the Western in the middle. Comparison of the abandoned civilization with the professor?

2022.Book12 - Making of biblical womanhood (Barr)

 Very good. Continually shocking that complementarianism is a thing

2022.Book11 - All Our Wrong Todays (Mastai)

 Some parts are excellent, a little uneven

2022.Book10 - The Fall of Babel (Bancroft)

 Reasonable world and plot, ridiculous style.

2022.Book9 - The Half-Drowned King (Hartsuyker)

 Solid entertainment. A bit slow after the middle, with lots of action at the end.

2022.Book8 - Lab Girl (Jahren)

 Really good.

2022.Book7 - The Genetic Lottery (Harden)

 Excellent

2022.Book6 - Jesus and John Wayne (Du Mez)

 Spectacular history of American Evangelical Christianity. Bad memories, but somehow I never got that into it. Anabaptist inoculation.

2022.Book5 - Creeks and Crises (Neufeld)

 Excellent family history.

2022.Book4 - The Word is Murder (Horowitz)

If anyone can make metafiction too self-absorbed, it's the British.

2022.Book3 - Fight Night (Toews)

 Pretty good. Works hard for not much payoff. Entertaining.

2022.Book2 - The Talented Mr. Varg (McCall Smith)

 Not very good. Loose plot, unimportant characters.

2022.Book1 - The Handsome Man's Deluxe Cafe (McCall Smith)

 Just OK.

2021.Book 49 - Conversations with Friends

 Not sure what it was going to be about. Kind of Neapolitan

2021.Book48 - The Institute (King)

 Good stuff. You know what you're getting with Stephen King.
