August 2007 - reads

I read 10 books in August and not a one of them was memorable enough to warrant a mention, unfortunately!

Lots of academic journals, but a few books (also academic) that might bear a mention:

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman
Social Mindscapes by Eviatar Zerubavel
Shared Fantasy (again) by Gary Alan Fine

Still in the middle of Lolita, too...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
The Brethern by Beverly Lewis
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Prisoner of Tehran: a memoir by Marina Nemat

Soul Kitchen by Poppy Z. Brite 3.5/5

I'd probably give that book a 3.5 as well. I liked the way she dealt with controversial issues like racism and homophobia, but I felt the plot was too similar to the other stories in this series.
