The Hound of the Baskervilles

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Finished 2010-06-03

Quite an adventure. A pretty quick read, but its age and style present some interesting words and phrases that are less-familiar in modern English.

Better than the first one, at least. We’ll see if it continues to improve.

In Defense of FoodAn Eater's Manifesto

by Michael Pollan

Finished 2010-02-05

A lot more food for thought (no pun intended?) than real prescriptions or proscriptions. Interesting, easily readable. A little more geared to the middle class, further on in life than I am - I essentially still live a college lifestyle still: no dining room, roommates are strangers, little room in the fridge or time to cook it because of social and professional obligations, and definitely nowhere to plant a garden. But that’s a lot of excuses and his advice is still sound. It’s a lifestyle change and it takes a commitment, as Pollan says. Anyway, I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to think about food culture, cooking, even American culture as a whole as it relates to big business.

The Lightning Thief

by Rick Riordan

Finished 2010-02-01

An attempt to combine Harry Potter with Holden Caulfield that’s interesting but not as compelling. It suffers a lot from “adult-trying-to-think-and-talk-like-a-kid” syndrome.

I’m going to finish the series, though, because I hear it gets better and I love adventure and mythology.
