- Sat, 15:45: The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov Huge flaws of plausibility and consistency; portrayal of gender relations is old-fashioned and cliched; completely fails to engage my willing suspension of disbelief. #nwbooks https://t.co/cPB2OQKINX https://t.co/4MaJsEZzsW https://t.co/NTPsFDB6E1
- Sat, 16:05: Grendel, by John Gardner John Gardner reimagines Grendel as a philosophical monster both attracted and repelled by the world of humans. #nwbooks https://t.co/xq50dKqC8H https://t.co/Hl0JxlD0nN https://t.co/bPjB79FbUl

- Sat, 16:25: The Light That Failed, by Rudyard Kipling Interesting only in places; the hero’s failure to get with the girl he loves is apparently painfully autobiographical, and the casual brutality is not very pleasant to read. #nwbooks https://t.co/6a22eUKAya https://t.co/QKQnCrpNX5 https://t.co/EwQ6iZCY1e
- Sat, 16:45: Rules, by Cynthia Lord More about growing up than anything, but in a real world where real people are dealing with real disabilities. #nwbooks https://t.co/CrMxexLuA4 https://t.co/ljoAaEQxW2 https://t.co/6lfz66xkYZ
- Sat, 17:05: Sleepyhead, by Mark Billingham It’s well constructed – the love lives of the main characters become intertwined with the plot, and the murderer’s modus operandi is very memorably horrible. #nwbooks https://t.co/mqG3AztFyd https://t.co/3Ceu2s7aGc https://t.co/bNejKfnpnE

- Sat, 17:25: A Man of Parts, by David Lodge Since it’s a novel rather than a biography, it’s a bit difficult to judge by the standards of biographies: all I can say is that I was entertained by it. #nwbooks https://t.co/wGvKvTGfwr https://t.co/wzfNzB4cWx https://t.co/ld8u3wr7F3
- Sat, 17:45: Burr, by Gore Vidal For me the most interesting nuance was Andrew Jackson, the president of the day in 1836, who had come to power as a revolutionary and failed to really deliver much more than patronage for his friends. #nwbooks https://t.co/WcMiyyddHB https://t.co/Y4da70XzTz https://t.co/sfyJfiTQvQ
