12 frogs

After much procrastination and self-imposed guilt, I finally caught up on posting book reviews over on reading notes:

• The Geography of Thought: there’s more than one way to think
• Both: featuring a bunny and astronauts, but not together
• Martian Dawn: cheesy vacation reading
• The Colorado Kid: I forgot how good Stephen King can be, especially when he isn’t going for the gross
• Truth Serum: The Lonely Parade, the only political satire I’ve been able to stand, because it snuck up on me in the guise of shabby underwear perverts
• The 1000 Journals Project, for a jolt of creativity and guilt-free voyeurism
• The Cluetrain Manifesto: if you’ve only read about it but not it, get off your ass and do yourself a favor
• Cat Getting Out of Bag, for cat people and those who want to understand us
• Stranger Than Fiction: I’ve decided I like Chuck Palahniuk

Have you read anything good lately? Or read anything the literate world would be better off avoiding?
