Four star review, originally posted here on May 19, 2019. Dave Cullen’s “Columbine” is easily one of the best, most important books I have ever read. And so I could not wait to get my hands on this, his second book, as soon as it came out. It is a very different book in many … More Goodreads Review: Parlkand: Birth of a Movement by Dave Cullen
Four star review, originally posted here on April 26, 2019. So my favorite author is Tony Horwitz, and when I heard his new book was coming out, I took a look at his website in hopes of a book tour, and from there I learned that he’s married to another author names Geraldine Brooks. “Huh,” … More Goodreads Review: Year of Miracles by Geraldine Brooks
Three star review, originally posted here on March 29, 2019. This was fine. It was interesting to get some backstory on Justice Sotomayor and to hear her own voice.

Three star review, originally posted here on March 3, 2019. Unsurprisingly, this is NOT an easy read. No matter how beautifully written, no matter how clear it is from the very start that we’re not supposed to like the protagonist, it is still unpleasant to read a book about a pedophile. It just is. … More Goodreads Review: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Four star review, originally posted here on February 26, 2019. I have no clue if this even counts as a “book,” but I’m counting it anyway cuz I need to inflate my stats after losing so much reading time already this year painfully slogging through the depressing mess that was Fear. Ugh. Anyhoo… This was … More Goodreads Review: Stephen Fry’s Victorian Secrets by John Woolf and Nick Baker
