2016.Book47 - Remains of the Day (Ishiguro)

Very good. What is the value of that life?

2016.Book46 - Jerusalem (Moore)

Immense and epic. Gets good after the first 350 pages or so. Feel like he could have removed or trimmed most of that first part.

2016.Book45 - Walk this Way

Aerosmith bio. Interesting how they cleaned up in three senses.

2016.Book44 - Stories of Your Life (Chiang)

Kind of underwhelming. Lots of hype, so just OK seems poor.

2016.Book43 - The Great Ordeal (Bakker)

Unbelievably good. So epic. Every storyline. Wow.

2016.Book42 - Welcome to Night Value (Fink, Cranor)

A let down. What's entertaining in audio is kind of inane in print.

2016.Book41 - The Wheel of Osheim (Lawrence)

Pretty good conclusion to the trilogy.

2016.Book40 - A Borrowed Man (Wolfe)

Very good. Pretty cool that it's almost all dialog. You get a strange world with lots unexplained (or maybe I just missed it).

2016.Book39 - Alif the Unseen (Wilson)

Pretty good. Some intellectual insecurity?

2016.Book38 - My Search for Absolutes (Tillich)

Surprisingly accessible.

2016.Book37 - Born Again (Harpur)

Pretty good, slightly flaky.

2016.Book36 - Sex Mom and God (Schaeffer)

Pretty interesting.

2016.Book35 - Unapologetic (Spufford)

Mixed. Snarky English argumentativness is just annoying. Descriptions of personal experience are great. But there's a big gap between meditative experiences and social/political effects. He marvels that the massive edifice of Christendom has been built on such a tiny, fragile set of experiences, but I think he'll find that is hasn't.

2016.Book34 - The Affinities (Wilson)

Just OK. Should be a good story: a protagonist with a conflict between his unaccepting family and the community he finds in another city. But Wilson kind of glosses over how Adam fits in with the Taus.

Julian Comstock was such a good book, but nothing else Wilson has done has really grabbed me. Kind of like Hansen's Chess Garden. Maybe it's me?

2016.Book33 - Lungdon (Carey)

Very good ending to the trilogy.

2016.Book32 - Corporation Wars: Dissidence (MacLeod)

Pretty cool stuff. Lots of intrigue.

2016.Book31 - Too Like The Lightning (Palmer)

Some cool ideas and extrapolations (though a little too neatly relevant). More revelations than plot. The scale of characters and rebellion is wrong. Will be interesting to read the rest of the series.

2016.Book30 - Galore (Crummey)

Pretty good. Covered a lot of ground.

2016.Book29 - Quantum Night (Sawyer)

Unjustifiably optimistic, irritatingly arrogant. Like a kids' version of Neuropath.

2016.Book28 - Under Major Domo Minor (DeWitt)

Pretty good. Starts off boring, then good, then weird, then good again.
