by Harriet Lerner This is a really complicated book, and way less formulaic than a lot of self-help books. It consists mostly of lengthy descriptions of clients from Lerner's practice and how they handled their intimacy troubles, with Lerner explaining...

This hasn't been a good year for me in terms of actually documenting the books I read (or, I see looking back, numbering them correctly as I went). Grrrrrr. However, here's a list: The Absolute Sandman: Volume 2 The Unseen...

Sigh. Been so damn busy! I'm still reading, but not managing to actually write up the books. 26. White Night - More Dresden Files. I hadn't read this one yet, and when I realized there were TWO paperbacks out in...

OK, I've been really, REALLY bad about keeping up with my booklog lately. So, here are capsules of the books I've finished but not blogged: 16. Will I Ever Be Good Enough? - A great self-help workbook. 17. The Principles...

By Suze Orman This is a pretty awesome book for folks in the 20-35 range looking to get a handle on their finances. Suze lays everything out in her classic, no-bullshit style. I don't agree with everything she says (she...

By Ayn Carillo-Gailey This is one of those books where I can't tell if it's a true story or not. It's funny and entertaining (and has a lot of good info on porn and the sex industry along the way),...

By Shinzen Young I got this book because of a coincidence -- I was in Mountain View for lunch with my Dad and stopped in front of East/West Books to look at their sale rack. I happened to have been...

By Frank Miller This was a really interesting book. I'd heard a lot about it in Batman fandom, and so was psyched when I got it for my birthday. The art is a bit peculiar, but I dug the story...

By Alan Moore I've read this a couple of times now, and I always seem to find new things each time I reread it. I still love Rorschach, even though I'm more painfully aware of his hypocrisy than ever. I...

By Jim Butcher Yep, another re-read. I liked this one just as much the second time around as the first, maybe even more. For one thing, I like that you can really see the seductiveness of being a werewolf even...

By Jim Butcher I was talking with my Mom about the Harry Dresden books and decided to re-read 'em. I've read 'em all before (starting here) and quite like 'em. They're not great literature or anything, but they are a...

By Steven Brust This is a really interesting book. For one thing, the protagonist, who narrates the tale, is not a very good person. He's not a totally over-the-top scenery chewing vampire or anything, he's just ... not a good...

By Neil Gaiman I reread this after seeing the film, and loved it at least as much a second time. SUCH A GREAT BOOK. If you haven't read it, do so. I know it's young adult lit, but it's great,...
