2022.Book22 - Wives and Daughters (Gaskell)

 Good entertainment. Feminine hobbledehoyhood!

2022.Book21 - Elite Capture (Táíwò)

 Pretty good. Quite simple. Pitched as "why oppressive companies have DEI", but it's more about progressive-aligned organizations.

2022.Book20 - Election (Perrotta)

 Not great, but better than the movie.

2022.Book19 - Material Girls (Stock)

 Good stuff, but I'm not hopeful. Extremism will win over moderation; allies can't stop.

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.
