A Month in Books (December 2009)

I'm sure you as my massive reading audience greatly enjoyed my month in books (not that I'm suggesting that you, dear reader, are personally massive). This will be my last post until my next Book-a-Day month, at a yet to be determined point in the future. Here are my December awards:
  • Book of the Month Award - Arabian Nights and Days, by Naguib Mahfouz
  • Honorable Mentions - Homage to Catalonia, by George Orwell; The Atom Station, by Halldor Laxness; The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, by John le CarrĂ©
  • Worst Book Award - The Museum of Dr. Moses: Tales of Mystery and Suspense, by Joyce Carol Oates
  • Dishonorable Mention - Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer

And here are some of the things I learned over the month of December:
  1. If you choose to read a book a day, pick a month other than December to do it, even though you'll be out of school. The holidays really screw with the reading time.
  2. Avoid trying to read a short story collection in a single day.
  3. Write in your blog immediately after finishing each book, or you'll keep putting it off.
  4. Blogging is actually a pretty good way to deal with writer's block.
  5. Tiger loves him the ladies.
  6. I'm pretty much invincible at fantasy football.
  7. It really isn't the thought that counts.
  8. Idaho is a bottomless well of endless amusement.
  9. Reese loves you!

Disgrace

December 12, 2009 Book of the Day: Disgrace , by J.M. Coetzee Grade: A First published: 1999 1-word review: Brutal 9-word review: South Africa's still struggling in the aftermath of apartheid. A communications professor in Cape Town resigns his job after having a scandalous affair with a student. He visits his daughter on her ranch in the country, where they are viciously attacked and robbed in her home. The rest of the novel, in sparse and nearly perfect prose, deals with the aftermath of this attack, examining white guilt, police incompetence, and intellectual bankruptcy. Coetzee is a white South African who wrote a novel that depicts black on white violent crime in his country. As you may expect, this has generated quite some controversy, despite Coetzee's bona fide anti-apartheid status. Many critics have suggested that Disgrace should be read as an allegorical tale about the inadequacies of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a body set up in South Africa to exam...

Breath, Eyes, Memory

December 3, 2009 Book of the Day: Breath, Eyes, Memory , by Edwidge Danticat Grade: C+ First published: 1994 1-word review: Tested 8-word review: Women can be awfully mean to each other. This book was written by a women named Edwidge. Why aren't more women named Edwidge? Like the main character in this novel, Sophie Caco, Edwidge Danticat was born in Haiti and raised by an aunt and grandmother after her mother emigrated to the United States. Also like Sophie, she herself emigrated to the U.S. when she was twelve years old. Other than these facts, I don't know how much of this novel is autobiographical. Here is a photo of Edwidge. Here is a map of Haiti, a third-world country, sometimes called the "Idaho of the Caribbean." And here's a photo of Reese Witherspoon, who has never lived in Haiti. I won't spoil the story by going into too much detail, but Sophie comes to be damaged by her mother, who was herself damaged by her mother (and a young Haitian man). S...

Freddy the Detective

December 11, 2009 Book of the Day: Freddy the Detective , by Walter R. Brooks Grade: A- First published: 1932 1-word review: Porcine 5-word review: Don't mess with the pig. Freddy the Pig awakes one morning to find Hambone, his best friend and longtime sty-mate, missing. He begins an investigation into the disappearance only to stumble upon the dismembered and eviscerated corpse of Hammy hanging in a meat locker. He proceeds to take revenge on those he deems responsible, doing to them what was done to his buddy. Blood flows as Freddy self-destructs in an orgy of violence. This is all rather surprising to find in a children's book. Warning to my more sensitive readers! Here's a gruesome picture of some of Hammy's remains, shown only in the interest of science. Here we have Idaho.
