Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (6/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:52 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

More of a character study of a completely unappealing character than a plot-driven novel. Not my thing.

The Shroud of the Twacker by Chris Elliott (7/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:52 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

Loses steam about 150 pages into the book.

The Surgeon’s Mate by Patrick O'Brian (6/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:51 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

I gave it a 6 and I don’t remember why.

The Fortune of War by Patrick O'Brian (9/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:50 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

Another Aubry/Maturin book. This one has both sea and espionage elements.

I Am Jackie Chan by Jackie Chan (5/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:48 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

Mildly amusing but poorly written memoir.

Desolation Island by Patrick O'Brian (9/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:48 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

The books keep getting better.

The Mauritius Command by Patrick O'Brian (8/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:47 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

Much better than the last book in the series.

Black Hole by Charles Burns (7/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:47 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

Decent and weird graphic novel. Lots on indy comic cliche.

H.M.S. Surprise by Patrick O'Brian (6/10)

Posted on Jul. 8, 2006 - 8:46 pmOct. 13, 2020 - 9:57 pm

Weakest of the first 3 Aubry Maturin books.

Inferno (9/10)

Posted on Jul. 7, 2006 - 8:43 pmNov. 16, 2021 - 11:14 pm

I didn’t like this movie that much when I first saw it, but it has since grown on me. I write a bit more on it here.
