Kristin's Book Log


Wednesday, December 28, 2005
I only was given one book for Christmas (Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman) but now have a Barnes & Noble gift certificate from my parents, and an amazon.com gift certificate from my aunt and uncle. I'm not sure yet what I'll end up getting, but shopping will be fun.

I finished Pat Cadigan's Synners before I left town. I've read better cyberpunk, but it was ok.

On the way to Denver I started Robert Kaplan's An Empire Wilderness. It was much like his other books except that he was travelling the US, rather than Afghanistan or other third world countries. I ended up leaving it there for my dad to read.

Malcolm Gladwell's Blink was a quick read about how people make decisions unconsciously. I've got his earlier book, The Tipping Point sitting here to read at some point too.

After getting home today I finished Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose. I needed to read it sometime in the next month anyhow for the class I'll be taking with Nancy Pearl so I decided to go ahead and read it over Christmas break. I quite liked most of it, but was let down by the ending.
