A slower burn than I would have liked, but it delivered on its promise and I enjoyed seeing a poor woman get revenge on a wealthy family.

Dune
I listened to this audiobook so I would be ready for the new adaptation, but now that I’ve read it, I still have yet to see the movie.
A Random Walk Down Wall Street
I appreciated the information I got from this book, even as I was amused by the author’s condescending attitude toward his colleagues.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane
I’m not sure why I enjoyed this book more than other works by Neil Gaiman, but it might have something to do with the fact that I think this one has just the right amount of fantasy and a tight plot.
The Invisible Man
I only had the vaguest idea of what this book was about before diving in, and although it wasn’t what I expected, I really enjoyed it.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Although I hadn’t read this book before, I was already very familiar with the material, which definitely made the jokes less enjoyable.
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
I really wanted to enjoy this classic by Junot Diaz, but it was just so sexist! Despite the beautiful language, I skimmed most of it.
Earthseed
I’m impressed by how accurately Butler predicted some of the effects of climate change, especially as it relates to California.
East Lynne
This book was absolutely bonkers and I loved it. When even the characters remark on how implausible the plot is, you know it’s implausible!
The Great Gatsby
I have a lot of feelings about F. Scott Fitzgerald, but I have to admit that his writing is so gorgeous it won me over.
