“How’s those book reports coming, dEFROG?”
“Just filed the latest batch, chief.”
JUST FINISHEDAs She Climbed Across The Table by Jonathan LethamLetham is one of those people who writes science-fiction for people who don’t read science-fiction, and the results can be mixed. In this case, it’s an unrequited love triangle where the third person is actually an artificially created black hole with a personality. Great in theory, but Letham tries a little too hard to channel Samuel Beckett here, and focuses too much on the love story and the nature of emotional obsession that I personally find irritating. It doesn’t help that the protagonist is the sort of hopeless pathetic person that keeps me from reading Nick Hornby. But that’s admittedly my own problem, and probably a testament to Letham’s talent.
JUST STARTEDThe Spider: Robot Titans Of Gotham by Norvell PageClassic pulp action from The Spider, a Shadow ripoff who was Batman before there was Batman – millionaire Richard Wentworth leads a double life as the vigilante The Spider, heroically fighting giant killer robots and vampire kings. This book collects three Spider stories, and so far, I can safely say I’ve never seen so many exclamation points.
