Brave New World


Fascinating. Somehow, this future world doesn't seem so impossible.

Ender's Game


Read this earlier as well... more later!

Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

The Road


Read this earlier as well. I definitely was pulled into this book entirely. More soon...

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

I Am the Messenger


I read this earlier in the year. It was fine, but for some reason not entirely captivating as Book Thief was.

Memory Keeper's Daughter

A little slow in parts and she really insisted on driving in the sadness that comes with secrets, but overall it was fine. It was interesting to follow the psychological ramifications that comes from one action, though.

Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

This was a very... leisurely book. While I liked it, I can't say I loved it, as it wasn't always easy to get through some parts of the book. The ideas in it were interesting, but I might have appreciated the subtle aspects of this book more if I had had someone to discuss them with. The ideas of those who inflict harm and those who absorb it was certainly the biggest idea and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the importance of that idea is.
