Calliope’s Dream

Calliope? Seen here, Callie.

“It’s angry, feminist poetry,” explained to me. A fair amount of my early poetical reading was this genre of “modernist, angry feminist poetry.”

From what I sampled? Just personal, maybe not angry.

Perceptions.

No Exit Strategy

Jack Reacher, no middle name.

“He figured he would take a refill of coffee or two—maybe three—then when the quantity of caffeine in his system was restored to a satisfactory level he would move on.” Page 11.

Good start.

Jack Reacher. Back at it.

The Tin Men

Spin-off from previous Nelson DeMille novels. Looks like his son continued the work.

Got to the halfway point then stayed up way past my bedtime to finish reading the novel. Much to think about, too.

Action, adventure, corporate malfeasance, and the rest of the plot. Killer robots. Brings up questions about “AI,” doesn’t it?

Nash Falls

Another David Baldacci thriller. Bought the hard cover, added it to the collection. Got a shelf full of that author’s works. Checked it out of the library, to read the digital version. Xmas got in the way. Got back to it shortly after Xmas, and had to leave enough time to finish reading the novel. Pacing, characters, setting, strong material, well-written.

I started thinking that’s this was a book built around hundred page increments. Like, the first four acts of a play? Shift, turn, greater emotional investment along the way, and the library book I was reading? It broke the novel into just about 400 pages so the hundred page increments corresponded nicely to the page numbers.

A novel has to stand on its own, and this one did, but?
