Media Roll Call
Mar. 23rd, 2012 11:28 pm11) A Treasury of Deception by Michael Farquhar - I admit it. I will own every damn one of these books this man puts out. By nature of the whole snippet format, they can be light on things and the details are sparse to keep things tight but he's got a great way of getting the point across and a wonderful sense of humor about history. The books also give me a nice mental list of people I want to find out more about.
12) A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle - Can you believe I never read any of her books growing up? Go figure. It was a very fast read, completed in a few hours, and interesting enough to keep me going. I'd be interested, though, in seeing if her other books show growth as a writer and more layers to the characters. I liked it, it was fun, I wish I would have read it when younger but... I kinda wanted to drop-kick Meg for a bit there. I think that was less about the character, though, and more about the writer's lack of time (or something) to properly weigh and develop the situation. Thus the poor kid comes across as unreasonably petty for a handful of pages. Hm.
12 books in under three months is not shabby, all things considered. I shall continue to be resolute!
And maybe stop boring you all with these sorts of posts. Whoops.
