I've been doing this since 2015, and though I'm not going to read a hundred books a year, I plan on doing this for the foreseeable future. I also maintain the Cannonball Read database, and make infrequent updates on our reading habits.

The Wheel of Time (Part I)

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan

The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan

by 21 Comments

The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. there are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it […]

If I could give this book six stars, I absolutely would.

Evil Eye by Madhuri Shekar

by 2 Comments

I have never read a book, finished it, and immediately picked it up to read again. I did today. Except this isn’t actually a book. It’s an audio-play – but it’s on Audible, so I’m counting it. And it’s only an hour and a half. So, I guess I didn’t put the book down. I finished it, than immediately re-started it. Occasionally, you come across a story that pushes all your buttons in just the right way, and gives you everything you are looking for […]

In my continuing quest to read all the books I should’ve read in high school but somehow talked my way out of, I read Animal Farm last week. In 1936, after publishing The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell went to Spain to fight against the Fascists being led by Francisco Franco.

Over […]

Keiko Furukura has been different her entire life, and she’s always to understand why she makes people uncomfortable. As a child, she found a dead bird and she brought it to her mother, who responded with sympathy and an offer to bury it. Keiko instead wanted to eat it. One day at school, two boys were fighting. Horrified, one of the girls screamed for someone to break them up, so Keiko grabbed a shovel and hit one of them over the head. And that was […]

Such a Murakami novel

A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

by Leave a Comment

I seem to always say this, but I don’t really know how to review Haruki Murakami’s books. They’re so inexplicable and enjoyable and uneventful. A Wild Sheep Chase, according to the man himself (in What I Talk About When I Talk About Running), was his “real starting point” as a writer – and that makes sense. Hear the Wind Sing, his first novel, has all the hallmarks of a Murakami novel, but doesn’t quite work as well. He hasn’t really found himself yet, and it […]
