short and sweet
April 2, 2010Books I’ve read lately but won’t be reviewing in full (no time or no point)
- Madam Bovary – Gustave Flaubert – enjoyed tremendously, amazing how true to life it remains
- North and South – Elizabeth Gaskell – patchy and a bit overblown
- Boys and Girls Forever – Alison Lurie – about kids literature, too US-centric to be fully enjoyable
- Sucked In – Shane Maloney (re-read) – Murray Whelan is my favourite detective and I hope there’s a sequel to Sucked In describing his adventures in Canberra and the Senate
- Jungfrau – Dymphna Cusack – a bit dated, oh what a tizzle people used to get themselves into about young women having sex and abortions. Come In Spinner and Heatwave in Berlin much better examples of her work
