Recently Read - The Airplane Edition

Lately, I've spent more time on airplanes than I care to. While a good amount of that flight time was spent looking at student papers and doing some dissertation work, I also managed to read a few novels.

How I Live Now
by Meg Rosoff - 21st century war in England and most of the rest of the world, kids/teenagers in the English countryside, an enemy that has lured most of the British forces to skirmishes across the globe in order to occupy the land, horror, love, desperation. Read it!

The Stars My Destination
by Alfred Bester - sometimes I do read the classics.

Surrender by Sonya Hartnett - I don't know if I have a coherent way to talk about this book yet. It is brilliant and terrifying. I am emotionally drained. It is wonderful, dark, and frightening.
