Book Reviews
Book Review: The Woman Destroyed by Simone de Beauvoir
“If I smoked cigarettes, I would sit at a train station with this book and light up.” – Me when I was 19 and thought smoking looked super cool, maybe in part due to this book’s iconic cover, but that’s a conversation for another day.
Book Review: Little Red Barns by Will Potter
“Little Red Barns is a groundbreaking investigation of factory farms and the unprecedented measures being taken to hide their impact — on animals, public health, and the environment — from the public.”
Book Review: Doppelganger by Naomi Klein
I listened to this book while on a bus to New York City (at least until Spotify informed me I ran out of free audiobook listening hours, which was interesting since I literally pay that service $10 a month, but I digress). Fortunately I was able to finish it using the services of the good old-fashioned library.
Book Review: Penance by Eliza Clark | SPOILER REVIEW
“Do you know what happened already? Did you know her? Did you see it on the internet? Did you listen to a podcast? Did the hosts make jokes?
Did you see the pictures of the body?
Did you look for them?”
Book Review: My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
I knew this book would be a difficult read, but I did not expect it to be quite as good as it was.
Book Review: Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis
Picture a bunch of rich people with too much time on their hands, too many drugs at their disposal and a severe lack of empathy.
Book Review: Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh | SPOILER REVIEW
This is a tough one. Ottessa Moshfegh is one of my favorite writers; she always finds a way to create an atmosphere of intense dread and transfixing disgust in the worlds she creates.
Book Review: American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
An over-the-top satire on Wall Street culture, rife with brand name obsessions, spectacular misogyny and, of course, murder.
Book Review: Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk | SPOILER REVIEW
Olga Tokarczuk’s Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead is a beautifully-written and philosophically intriguing novel with strong animal rights undertones.
Book Review: A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick | SPOILER REVIEW
A Scanner Darkly is both a novel about an intriguing sci-fi world and a disturbing exploration of substance abuse.
