Books I didn't get
1.
Gilead: A Novel
by Marilynne Robinson
Comments
Many friends swear by this book: "changed my life", "a devastating book". I had a different reaction: dull, meandering, never-ending.
3.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
by Michael Chabon
Comments
Wonder Boys and Mysteries of Pittsburg were wild entertaining flights of fancy. This one (pulitzer winner) reeks of research overdrive, and too much effort to impress.
4.
The Human Stain: A Novel
by Philip Roth
Comments
Strong start, then the diatribes by silk and others go on and on and on.
5.
Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (Vintage International)
by Haruki Murakami
Comments
I love his novels, but don't get the short stories. Is there any real meaning to the stories in this collection?
