    An interesting spin on psychological sci/fi that I've been meaning to read for a long time. It did not disappoint, thought I found long passages that I could skip because they went much too deep into theoretical territory when I wanted to get back to the characters and plot. I can't fault the author for this completely because it's his vision to explain things so deeply, but I wanted back to the story several times (and skipped ahead to get there).

    Project X

    I'm at a loss of what to say - I went from being into the book deeply to looking away while reading, hoping against what was building up throughout. Shepard writes these characters pitch perfectly and places heartbreaking observations throughout. Including Edwin's thoughts of Gus or the suitcase...

    I'm at a loss of what to say - I went from being into the book deeply to looking away while reading, hoping against what was building up throughout. Shepard writes these characters pitch perfectly and places heartbreaking observations throughout. Including Edwin's thoughts of Gus or the suitcase as he heads towards the finish of the novel sticky with me as if I was him, and make me want to hug my own children closely and counsel a wayward, bullied student in my building if only because it's a good thing to do. Growing up can suck, but it gets better.

    The Best American Short Stories 2012

    Another great batch of stories. Much sexier than I remember in past years. "What we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank" was a favorite, along with "Anything Helps" and "Miracle Polish" among others.

    The Lost City of Z

    As I start the book I can barely put it down, it's so good! It's like reading real life Indiana Jones. Fantastic. I read some of it out loud to my daughter Ellie and she was scared because it was scary.

    Before I Go to Sleep

    I didn't really like the way it ended, but it was a good book overall.

    Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir

    One of the more unique memoirs I've read. There are elements of it that could stand with Hunger of Memory or other well-known memoirs that deal with race, but it's also much more. I feel like some people will be better equipped to read this than others. What I can say is that the language is...

    One of the more unique memoirs I've read. There are elements of it that could stand with Hunger of Memory or other well-known memoirs that deal with race, but it's also much more. I feel like some people will be better equipped to read this than others. What I can say is that the language is fresh and original, mixing hip-hop, literature, and other pop culture references in without much of a safety net. Much like Baohaus itself, either you're in or you're not.

    A Clash of Kings

    I've got to say that I'm hooked and look forward to the next one and beyond. The HBO series is good, but the books are better, as usual.
