maribouThe Living, by Annie Dillard
This is one of the slowest-reading novels I've ever finished, but I didn't mind. I was in no hurry for it to be over. Surprisingly existentialist.
(23/250)
Passing, by Nella Larsen
Acerbic and compelling short novel about the urban intricacies of race in the Jazz Age. Highly recommended.

Vampire the Masquerade: Second Edition, White Wolf Publishing
This was more well-written than I had expected. I even chuckled out loud a few times. Kept my interest, too.

The Underpainter, by Jane Urquhart
This is a very writerly book. Beautiful. But I did find myself having to turn back three or four pages and reread because I'd gotten distracted by the pretty and stopped following the story ... more than once. I think that was more a defect in my attention than in the book though, because there were other parts that I loved loved loved and sunk into.

Dogland, by Will Shetterly
Everyone who likes YA novels should read this book. I love the mythic bits and hints of underlying magic, but I especially love the fractious, flawed, lovable characters. The plot is maybe a bit predictable, but only in the good way. A superb story.
