Just finished: Embassytown by China Mieville. Once again I've taxed my mind with China Mieville's words that are untranslatable, or seem germane, but are actually neologistical!

Virginia Woolf, Flush 
It's a novel about a dog, a dog's biography. I'm not sure what to do with it. It is an amusing and surprisingly easy read - unlike some of Woolf's other work - yet it fails to completely captivate me or even feel bad for Flush the dog whenever something bad happens to him. It's a bit like reading a weekly column in a newspaper about the events in a dog's life.
I'm sure there are deeper layers here, that my professor will gladly uncover, about dog society being compared to human society and the dog really being the model for a woman writer who has little or no chance to do as she pleases.

Why not make a thread and post your reviews there? That way you may be able to start a discussion.

Was there much butt sniffing?
Not really. It did, however, feature Venus' horn and its irresistible call.

Let me guess how it goes...
Only if the one calling for Snoopy is a willing female dog.

To Polly: That sounds like a excellent idea- I've done three reviews on Mieville.

Just finished: Murder on the Orient Express. I haven't read a mystery of this ilk in a long time and it was a breath of fresh air. Agatha Christie wrote this book in 1934 and it's a beaut!

Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls.
Absolutely brilliant satire that still holds up 170 years later. Pity it's unfinished. I'll read the fragmental "part II" eventually, but for now I'm happy to leave Chichikov where he is, galloping into the new world behind a lazy horse.
