ALOBIR: May 2007
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Something about books about garbage seems to inspire sub-titles. Or perhaps it is just a feature of non-fiction. This book uses "On The Secret Trail of Trash". With it, I seem to be mining, chronologically at least, a wealth of trashy information. Royte uses (or perhaps better is recycles - did I use that joke already? For sources, as well as the ever present EPA. Perhaps the most enlightening fact. Is that ". for every 100 pounds of product that's made - product that hits the ...

ALOBIR: July 2007
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. Set in the shared universe of the Borderland. The main character, Orient, has a gift for finding things. This talent gets him drafted into a police investigation. Clues are followed, elves are implicated, innocents die, and the guilty get caught. This novel followed Bull's. Which had very clear gender bending issues and themes. With. Two books down, two thumbs up. Looks like I'll have to read all the rest by Ms. Bull. Thursday, July 12, 2007. Complete Food and Nutrition Guide.

ALOBIR: American Gods
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007/12/american-gods.html
Saturday, December 15, 2007. Excellent novel. The conceit of gods being brought to America by the immigrants from around the world is done perfectly. I continue to be amazed by how well this English bloke portrays American characters and the landscape and culture of the U.S. I must address an issue as it was raised in the other blog and for better or worse stuck in my mind as I read. Is this a better book than. I'm going to punt and say it is a different book. But these are minor points. View my complete...

ALOBIR: March 2007
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2007. Author: C. S. Lewis. Thursday, March 15, 2007. Monday, March 12, 2007. Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories. Published: 1887 - 1889. Plenty of wit and hilarity but also, to my surprise, many stories in the fashion of a fable with a moral at the end. Also, quite a few make a stand for the poor and destitute, quite contrary to my impression of Wilde's work. Thursday, March 8, 2007. Bill, The Galactic Hero. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

ALOBIR: June 2007
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 18, 2007. The novel started as a novella with the title. And Call Me Conrad. The novella shared the Hugo Award in 1966. And as much as I like Roger Zelazny, I find that fact astounding, even if there was no separate category for novella back then). This book is heavy on clever dialogue and big ideas, a little light on plot and character development, and very deep on mythology (much of which went over my head). And with this book, I begin rebuilding my Zelazny collection. Friday, June 15, 2007.

ALOBIR: September 2007
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2007. An illustrated history (lots of pretty pictures). A few technical tidbits and pointers to contemporary airship companies, most of which have since gone bankrupt. Sunday, September 23, 2007. Very dry account of the history of airships. At times, it goes into excruciating detail, especially in accounts of airships used by Germany in both World Wars. Friday, September 21, 2007. Author: E. S. Stevens. There is a lot of science in this book. Skimming those sections is okay....

ALOBIR: Anansi Boys
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007/10/anansi-boys.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2007. From published reports and reviews, I expected no less than perfection. Expectations were met. As I predicted, Gaiman is the kind of author who makes me want to give up writing because there is just no point, is there? My efforts will fall short and besides he's here on earth, writing these things which means that people need not seek out more entertaining, witty, hilarious works because such works don't exist. Best not to think about it and just continue on one's way.

ALOBIR: Dune
http://alobir.blogspot.com/2007/12/dune.html
Friday, December 28, 2007. I love this book. Every time I read it, I realize what I missed before, what I didn't remember, and what I learn anew. The world Herbert created is just fantastic, insanely detailed. I love my copy of this book. Original paperback. In time it will fall apart. I should treat myself to a nice hardcover version; then again I would miss holding it close while reading, like my very own copy of the. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
