10th Grade by Joseph Weisberg
Pretty good. It’s a young adult novel, which means I’m not really the target audience, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The lack of punctuation and the rampant run-on sentences did give it an authentic feel (first person of a 10th grade boy), but it make it a bit slower to read. Still, I remember a lot of high school feeling that way – lots of uncertainty and just sorta making everything up.
The Book of General Ignorance by John Lloyd and John Mitchinson
Meh. Fairly interesting, but they were wrong on a couple things (like the names of subatomic particles; minor, sure, but still), which means I can’t trust them on everything else in the book I knew nothing about. Which means it's a waste of time.
Don’t Try This At Home by Hunter S. Fulghum
Very fun. I admit… I’m tempted to try some of the things….
Fried Eggs With Chopsticks by Polly Evans
An enjoyable, fairly mindless romp that I read while myself traveling. I’m not dying to seek out her other books, but it was pleasant and fairly interesting to read nonetheless.
Blood Music by Greg Bear
Very good. Kinda scary, but in a fun, interesting way. I haven't been reading much sci-fi lately, so it was good to get a sci-fi book in.
