Godspeed Heather Quarter
Sep. 1st, 2007 05:58 pmA Death in the Venetian Quarter, by Alan Gordon
This is the third of Gordon's medieval Fools' Guild mysteries, and my favorite so far... more complex and with sharper wit than the weaker (but still good) second book.

How the Heather Looks, by Joan Bodger
Charming travel narrative about the author's visit to England with her husband and two children, in pursuit of the places where their favorite children's books "really" happened. Originally published in 1965; has held up very well, especially the author's voice - a mix of rueful, excited, exasperated, and affectionate that really draws the reader in.

Godspeed, by Lynn Breedlove
So this book is an angry stream-of-consciousness semi-autobiographical drugs-and-dissolute-youth novel, and by all rights I shouldn't have liked it one bit. But I originally picked it up after seeing the author read and being absolutely fascinated, and the book is equally fascinating. It's such a well-made angry stream-of-consciousness semi-autobiographical drugs-and-dissolute-youth novel, you see. Oh, and
randomdreams, the protagonist is a bike messenger in SF for most of the story, and I think you might quite like those bike-ey parts.
