A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
Signed, Picpus by Georges Simenon
Vernon Downs by Jamie Clarke
The Man Who Lived Underground by Richard Wright
Horse Crazy by Gary Indiana
A Moveable Feast - 4/5 This is kind of a memoir by Hemingway, one that he was working on before he died. It's not complete, but according to the editorial notes by one of his sons and grandsons, it's close. This edition undoes some of the more confusing and intrusive decisions from the original … [Read more]
The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
The second book in the Hyperion Cantos, and the direct sequel to the book Hyperion.

The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher
This is very readable and I'm glad I picked it up randomly at Barnes & Noble, but it didn't live up to my hopes. I enjoyed Paladin's Grace so much that I figured I'd see how Kingfisher did at horror. The Hollow Places follows Kara as she tries to recover from her recent divorce. She comes back … [Read more]
