Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It by Geoff Dyer

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


An honest and well-thought-out review of a book too many people have found to be not worth their time. I think they are wrong and I will tell you why. You can find my review of this book here:

D.H. Lawrence by Brenda Maddox

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A far better book than expected. A thoughtful and controversial exploration of the life of D.H. Lawrence focusing on his marriage to Frieda and his basically suppressed homoerotic, or homosexual, tendencies in respect to his long non-monogamous marriage to the love of his life. I offer a different perspective on this subject as Brenda Maddox instilled in me a new passion for learning all I can about Lawrence, and in this arduous but interesting process, I learn about myself. My full thoughts and review can be found here:

The Final Country by James Crumley

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Pretty disappointed in this potboiler, but it wasn't James Crumley's fault. I will take the blame. And I explain why here:

Inscriptions for Headstones by Matthew Vollmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Five stars at least in goodreads terms is supposed to mean "amazing" which is exactly what this bit of work is. I wish I would have been the one to write this book. But I wasn't and the good news is Vollmer is young enough to give us more of this sort of quality he has set himself the bar for. Three cheers for Matthew Vollmer. I explain myself more personally here:

Winter Journal by Paul Auster

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


As much as I loved this book I do feel in some way Auster was a bit of a coward in some of his most frank honesty. I explain why here:
