Good Reads

I have a confession. I’ve never read the other Cory’s novels. I’m as addicted to Boing Boing as the next person, appreciate his non-fiction work, read his short stories, and generally enjoy the conversations we’ve had. But “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom” never grabbed me, so I’ve not read his novels.

Oops.

Thoroughly enjoyed “Eastern Standard Tribe”(on the new Kindle, no less) on the flight over to London. Geeky, fast-paced, perfect travel consumption for me. Now I’m about half-way through “Little Brother”, which so far is heartbreaking and wonderful, despite (or because of) it being such a rant. When my daughter reads it in 4 or 5 years, I wonder if it will resonate because society has self-corrected or because we’ve gone even deeper into the rat hole of fear. I certainly hope it is the former.

I’d write more, but I want to get back to “Little Brother.” If you’re on this blog, you’ll want to go read it, too.

[Edit: Finished “Little Brother” later Sunday, resulting in being fairly tired on Monday. If anything, it got better as it went. Really enjoyed it.]
