Book reviews

I've been too lazy to update my "Currently" info on the right of my page recently, so you won't have noticed that since Gods Debris, I've finished a couple of other books I wouldn't normally have picked up, both of which I enjoyed in their own way.

I found Gods Debris rather unsatisfying. ( It read like Scott Adams really needs to take a few courses in philosophy )

After that, I finally got around to reading a book that my Dad lent me about a year ago - ( An Indian Summer by James Cameron )

. I really enjoyed the way he seemed to allow the culture to speak for itself - striving only to describe it as completely as he could and perhaps to try to understand it. It made India seem like somewhere I might visit someday.

Deciding to stay out of genre for a little longer, I picked up a book I was given for Christmas - ( Sea Glass by Anita Shreeve )

. Although there are big important events happening in the characters lives, it feels in some ways more about the people than the plot - a series of portraits. As a style, that's something that's difficult to do well but I think it's done well here and I enjoyed it.

So now I need some genre books to rebalance me - suggestions?
