And More books
Apr. 23rd, 2008 12:14 pm32. The World Without Us... Alan Weisman (what happens to the world if all the humans disappeared. It turns out that nuclear reactors meltdown, gas stations and chemical plants leach chemicals into the soil, etc. Not very good. Our buildings would go away fairly quickly.)
33. The Little Lady Agency... Hester Browne
34. Talk to the Hand... Lynne Truss
35. Learning Privilege... Adam Howard
36. The Darkest Evening of the Year... Dean Kootnz (my goodness, he is getting preachy. and the danger in the book was all of 5 pages or so.)
<sigh> Bad round of books. The World without Us was interesting. But it envisions a rapture like event when no one has time to turn anything off... and so hence it's very doomsday.
Little Lady Agency was fluff to fill up time.
Talk to the Hand was about the dearth of manners these days, but it had no solutions.
Learning Privilege also had no solutions. Students tend to excel more at wealthy schools. Get that. What do we do about all the students who can't go to those schools? <sighs> I thought it might have some solutions. All it did was prove it's point.
The Koontz novel was a very big disappointment. I used to love him. Still like the Odd series and the Midnight Cove series. But his newest books are worth the paper they are written on. Koontz has found religion (or spirituality) and he really, really wants to convey his beliefs)
