The Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman
The Areas of My Expertise

nemo, November 6, 2008

If you've seen Hodgman on the Daily Show, you'll love this book. Hodgman's incredibly funny deadpan style is in fine form here---you can almost hear his voice as you read. If you've ever wanted to know about America's Hobo Wars, who invented shame, or the fifty basic narrative situations, this is the book for you.

This book is not only impressive in its range of field and breadth of knowledge, but also in the depth of its concern and humanity. Very highly recommended.

Peony in Love by Lisa See
Peony in Love

nemo, December 24, 2007

A lovely book that slowly unfolds to reveal how its love story, its starving lovesick maidens, its ghosts all speak to the theme of the value of women's voices.

The History of Love: A Novel

nemo, December 2, 2007

This is a beautiful book, deeply human. All the characters yearn, and we yearn with them. I didn't want it to end.
