This was really great. Smart, interesting, accessible, but not dumbed-down. Definitely recommend.

Rated Slow Horses 8/10

<div>Yeah, I will read more of these, more than likely. I enjoy the TV show, so I decided to check out the books, and I'm glad I did.</div>

Rated Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump 10/10

De twee journalisten kwamen heel dichtbij Trump en zijn team. Gesprekken zijn letterlijk opgeschreven. Afgezien van de corruptie is het schrikbarend om te zien hoe hij op zijn gevoel beslissingen neemt en alle advies van experts in de wind slaat. De experts durven geen tegengas te geven en laten hem zijn gang gaan. <br/>Je wordt niet blij van dit boek maar het is het waanzinnig om alles van zo dichtbij mee te maken. <br/>Het eerdere boek van Haberman over Trump is ook de moeite waard, trouwens.

Rated My Year of Rest and Relaxation 6/10

I was fascinated by this story and wondering how it would all shake out, especially since this revolves around a person who spends most of her time asleep. It's both unpleasant and depressing, but almost in a good way? Certainly, this book is hard to describe, and though it wasn't entirely the one for me (and perhaps an unwise choice to read in the dregs of January), I still really respect what Moshfegh did here.

Rated What Moves the Dead 10/10

<div>This take on "The Fall of The House of Usher" is a great spooky time. I'll definitely look for the next in the series.</div>

Shel Silverstein is famous for his children’s poetry and illustrations.

In poem Lazy Jane the word "rain" hovers just above Jane’s open mouth, as the string of words above it seems to represent the trickle of water she longs for.

Rated Q: A Novel 6/10

Reading this book, I did not fall headlong like the narrator does with Q, or like he does in describing his latest plans for a book. It's a bit funny, but it also made me think, "Oh good lord, would we just get to how this resolves instead of watching him flail?" Still, that need to know what happens never goes away, and for that reason, I kept going. I read it while on vacation, and for airplane/hotel reading, it's a worthy distraction. Yes, it's a bit heavy-handed with the symbolism, but part of me suspects that it's done in a farcical way. Not being able to tell was annoying, even though I wanted to keep reading. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this book. Was I more patient with its faults because I was on vacation?<br><br><i>Would I feel differently if I were able to go back and read it under different circumstances?</i><br><br>Oh, I see what you did there, Mandery. Everything comes back the nagging concept of Choice.<br><br>(My full review can be found on <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2011/11/q-by-evan-mandery.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
