Books started but not completed for various reasons are not counted, naturally!


Origin: Diana Abu Jaber
An interesting psychological thriller.  I enjoyed it because I could identify with aspects of the main character, but also for the analysis of how the mind can play tricks on your memory.... was interesting.


Inferno: Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

A mildly amusing, but rather disturbing retlling of Dante's inferno incorporating modern sins.  I have to agree with the analysis of hell & God from it.  Although if Hell exists I will probably end up there in some horrible place because of that agreement.  Very easy to read, I liked it.


Cop Out: Claire McNabb
A trashy lesbian crime novel, fun, and easy to read.  I'll probably keep reading the series because they provide instant gratification and ease of readingness, but yeah, literarily they aren't terribly good - the writing is also pretty average.
