J. Egan’s The Keep. I am afraid you’re not missing much here. But if you’re interested I posted some thoughts over on LibraryThing. I really need to try and do a better job at this whole “book review” thing.
If you have a blog or two that you frequent for reviews, please send me the link. I’d like to study some good reviews.
I’m not a “re-reader”. In fact, there is only one book that I have re-read, on purpose and under my own free-will. It is Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land. I think it stands just as tall as Huxley’s Brave New World.
Apparantly, I’m not alone. This year,on July 7th, folks all over the world are celebrating (ok, maybe just recognizing) the centennial of Heinlein’s birth.
I have just stumbled upon a review of The Camel Bookmobile. I have to say I’m intrigues and have to move it towards the top of my TBR list. I think it’s a novel, but with just enough ‘real world’ to keep it really interesting.
But I have to say I am currently digging Silverman’s Typo. The insights into the business world are great and his reflections on them all are even better. I don’t see how he can keep it up throughout the whole book. We’ll see…
The first one I stumbled upon via LibraryThing. If you like book talk, then BookChase is a good one to keep up with.
Also, here’s a really cool book cover design site. Lots of fantastic pictures to devour of some unique designs, all from an illustrator’s private collection. (via fade theory)
