Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)

We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Anathem by Neal Stephenson
	pearl, December 08, 2008 Anathem is like peering through a window and then slowly, surprisingly realizing you are looking into a mirror. Stephenson creates a complex, dense, habit-forming universe. I love this book.

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
	pearl, July 29, 2008 As a woman who feels connected to farming and nature, I found this book to be a beautiful ode to humans' complicated participation in the natural world. Kingsolver's writing is surprisingly beautiful and honest...I found myself laughing out loud, re-reading passages in wonder at the author's skill, and yes, crying. This is the best novel I have ever read. It put into words many things I have been trying to understand.
