These poems are a moving account of Judy Jance`s heartaches during her marriage to an alcoholic. I was moved to tears as I read her soul reveaing feelings. Now I can understand some of her characters in the books she has written since that time.

Well, what a drag. I really had to slog my way through this one. All of the quirks, attitude, over-the-top-ness that made the first book(Dragon Bound)such a hoot were no longer new in this book and verged on flat-out annoying. Tiago, the Thunderbird Wyr, was so overbearing in the first half of the book that he bordered on true alpha ass-ness. And Niniane (formerly known as "Tricks') was often the Ninny. Though, in all fairness, she was often adult, too. But the wavering between the two halves of her persona was unsettling. The story line was interesting and that's what kept me reading. And there were some minor characters, especially the leads for the next book, who were page-worthy. I'll call this one sophomore slump and hope the next one is better.

3.5 stars, more thoughts to come. But, even though I didn't rate this book higher, it is one that will stay with me for a very long time. The promised "more thoughts": So, I finished House of Leaves by Mark Danielewsky. What a book. I give it 3.5 stars - there are parts of it that are definitely 4 stars, and other parts that are more like 2. The core of the story is called "The Navidson Record" and tells about a filmmaker named Navidson who has moved his family into a house that he discovers is larger on the inside than on the outside. If you're like me, this will not initially sound interesting or scary or anything, but it gets there quick. Probably my favorite phrase in the book to describe the unfathomable depths to which the interior of the house grows was "vast tenebrific spaces." Terrifying. What these scenes play on in our innate uncomfortable-ness with physical space that is out of proportion to our bodies. We innately don't like very large spaces or very small places, and Danielewsky draws that out very well. When they are exploring the vast interior of the house, he makes the text on the page do what the house itself is doing, and for some reason, it works. For example, if the ceiling of the house is getting lower and lower and lower, the text on the page begins at a lower point on the page and keeps marching down, page after page. Many pages have only one line of text on them, making this no where near as long of a book as you might guess from its physical size (kind of the inverse of what the narrative does). Beyond that narrative is the tale of Johnny Truant, a drug-addled, (unsuccessful) tattoo artist, who is reading the Navidson Record. Most of his story is told in footnotes, which is where the whole footnote thing works. But that hand was way over played by Danielwesky in my opinion. There are over 500 footnotes for this novel, most of which reference works that do not exist except in the world of the novel. Ok, I see what he did there, but totally an unnecessary convention and takes you completely out of the story. Beyond that is the story of Zampano, a crazed, deceased, old man who wrote the Navidson Record. We get to hear very little about him, mostly that he went crazy and died in a foreshadowing of Truant's end. Then, in the back of the book, are several appendices that seem wholly unnecessary. They are referred to mostly in Truant's part of the book, but even in the text of the novel the author tells you they are unnecessary. One whole appendix, of about 60 pages in total length, is comprised of letters from Truant's mother (from her mental asylum) to Truant which basically provide background study for Truant. If you care. I didn't. When the book is telling the Navidson Record, I would say the crazy, experimental textual stuff really works and works well. It made reading the story fun and engaging in a totally new way for me. The whole footnote thing got old fast - it's why I never made it through Infinite Jest. I recommend the book for horror enthusiasts who are looking for something different and are ready for a bit of a project. I do not recommend reading the book at the gym on the exercise bike - it's too difficult and makes you look weird when you keep rotating the book over and over to follow a crazy line of circular text. Not that I did that. I think Danielewsky really pulled something cool off here, but ti might have benefited from a slight bit more editing.

Hemingway says that when he explained to people that he just up and left his life to travel, they'd always express some envy. I totally understand this. It's not always just wanderlust-- there's something fundamentally human about wanting to escape, to have no commitments. I certainly identify. Still, though, I wasn't completely enamored of this book. It was certainly funny in places, but it isn't my favorite of his. The best parts are not the funny ones--but when he realizes that reacquainting himself with America means acquainting himself with some pretty nasty individuals.

Clare Dudman is an AMAZING writer, but you don't hear much about her. This book made me care about a meteorologist in the Arctic Circle around 1930 (Alfred Wegener, if you're better with science than I am), which is quite an accomplishment. The writing is beautiful, and the character is so real.

I am in awe of the intellectually engaging, magic world the author had to build and sustain in this eery work of historical fantasy. I read all 846 pages of it, which is a testament to its intriguing nature. That said, I didn't really like the book. While reading it, I was always in a haze, and afterwards, I felt drained. It was just too creepy.
