Another booklist

Books returned last night:

Stravaganza (all right)
Foretelling (all right)
Letters to a Young Evangelist (excellent)
How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (difficult, yet excellent)
The Truth About Conservatives (all right; heavy on statistics)
The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl (fun)
New Boy (eh - a bit didactic)
Blue Bloods (blah, terribly pretentious)
Leonardo's Shadow (couldn't get into it)
Thirst: Poems by Mary Oliver (good; better, I think, if I hadn't just about had my fill of poetry)
Chutes and Ladders: Navigating the Low-Wage Labor Market (good; better if it wasn't preaching to the choir)
