Rated Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons In the Lives of Migratory Birds 6/10
Really wanted to like this more than I did. It's very dry and technical, with lots of lists of specific birds that aren't super-meaningful to me, who doesn't know a thrush from a warbler, let alone the distinctions between different thrushes and warblers; the good stuff is kind of buried. It also feels a little bit like a series of essays, rather than the arching narrative it suggests. Still, I enjoyed it, but it's definitely only for people who are hardcore about birds. Would love to read a feature-length article version of the interesting stuff herein.
Rated Rip it Up and Start Again. Post-punk 1978-1984 6/10
exhaustive and exhausting. read the parts about the bands you like, glaze the rest.
Rated The Secret History 8/10
Great great writing, well-drawn characters, really establishes a world and then brutally deconstructs it.
Rated Cuckoo 10/10
A horny, gory, delight
Rated Bath Haus 6/10
The second half was better, but I really struggled to get into this in the beginning
