Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm | Our Books Are Better Than We Are
https://ourbooksarebetterthanweare.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/unbecoming-by-rebecca-scherm
Our Books Are Better Than We Are. Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm. February 22, 2015 in books. I saw Rebecca Scherm read at the Sackett Street Reading Series at BookCourt and promptly picked up her first novel, Unbecoming. It’s an absorbing read that, although it is literally about antique and jewelry heists, I was surprised to read described as a book about antique and jewelry heists. It is a book about Grace, the protagonist–the rest of it is just the plot. Book and Writing Blogs. Books and Bowel Movements.

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel | Our Books Are Better Than We Are
https://ourbooksarebetterthanweare.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/station-eleven-by-emily-st-john-mandel
Our Books Are Better Than We Are. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. April 7, 2015 in books. The use of science fiction as a device overall, though, was more successful. While I’m not a big Star Trek fan myself, I grew up with a lot of Star Trek because of my parents and brother, so I got a kick out of the many Trek-related quotes and allusions. A mantra in the book, “Survival is insufficient,” comes from Star Trek (not even the old Star Trek! And is pretty compelling, I thought.

Our Books Are Better Than We Are. You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2015. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. January 27, 2015 in plays. At the hours dwindle until I head to New Orleans, I managed to read a NOLA class in just an hour or two: A Streetcar Named Desire. Music and setting are important elements in A Streetcar Named Desire. But are hard to appreciate when only reading the text. I hope to see the play sometime! Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward.

The Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt | Our Books Are Better Than We Are
https://ourbooksarebetterthanweare.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/the-summer-without-men-by-siri-hustvedt
Our Books Are Better Than We Are. The Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt. March 5, 2015 in Uncategorized. I downloaded Siri Hustvedt’s The Summer Without Men. As part of a Kindle promotion ages ago and then forgot about it. The other day, I noticed it sitting there unread and opened it up. And I actually really loved it. Jane Austin’s entire oeuvre (nearly), and The Golden Bowl. Was that part of the point? And another thing about the email stalker–as the title of the novel suggests, there weren...

Our Books Are Better Than We Are. Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward. January 27, 2015 in books. I’m going to New Orleans on a family vacation this week, so I finally dove into my list of related reading. I read part of The Sound and the Fury. And then finished Salvage the Bones. By Jesmyn Ward. I know that neither of these books are actually set in New Orleans–or even in Louisiana–but they’re close! Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones. Down to the number of puppies–four–who survive the birth.).
