This book is one of my favorites in this series. It had the right amount of mystery and action. I am really glad I started reading this series and I can't wait to see what happens next!

The concept is profound. The secrets are powerful. The effect is forever.

It feels strange to give an explanation of why I love this book so much. I gave one of the stories, "Testimony of Pilot" to a group of kids I was teaching last winter, and I am afraid to say not a one of them found it the least bit interesting. In fact, they were mightily confused by it. We had been reading an O'Henry Prize collection, and I think they had gotten used to a very structured, rigorous kind of short story; the Hannah didn't really do if for them. But the reason I like Airships so much, I think, has something to do with the fact that these stories aren't at all what you're supposed to expect from "classic" short fiction. They're messy, they have ridiculous, over-the-top turns of phrase, and they often don't coalesce into any sort of moral or tidy meaning. Which is precisely why this book is one of the best examples of how the short story is a far more flexible medium than most people give it credit for. And why I'll teach this book to any short fiction class I ever have, even if they hate it.

Since I finished Snow White, Blood Red, I was interested in going back to some of original fairy tales. This is one of the Grimms' tales. It is beautifully illustrated with decorative flower borders, and I enjoyed reading the story and feeling like threads of it were familiar to me.

This is my favorite book of all time. I have reread this book more times than I can remember. I discovered this book before I read Catcher in the Rye and thus wondered why that one got all the attention. Its push to get active in the world, and at the same time the downfalls of intellegence in this world are remarkable and funny. It is also the book I have quoted in my life more than anything. After all dont we all think, "Everyone is Simore's fat lady?"

I have tried to read this and cant finish. I saw the play a few years ago. That was good but the book drags.

I started reading this with an open mind, ready to appreciate the gutsiness of people who lead a much less structured and more adventurous life than I would ever dare to live. For the first half of the book, I really did enjoy entering their world. Then the narrator's naivite began to irritate me. It began with the couple in New Orleans (representing William S. Boroughs, if I remember correctly) that never seemed to feed their children because they spent all their money on drugs. The narrator was puzzled by that, but seemed to think it was OK. He went on to describe multiple cases of people neglecting children and abandoning wives. Also, the use of the word "girl" wasn't always just 1950s sexist language; there was some genuine pedophelia in all their leering at 15 year olds. The narrator persisted in describing their self-absorption and lack of empathy as really hip and cool. But then, he was pretty caught up in his own self-absorbed, ivy league white boy blues. I know these were all real poeple, and I'm not a pollyanna who objects to reading stories about flawed humans. I do expect there to be something in the storytelling that transcends human selfishness and adds a useful perspective to the whole mess. I didn't find that kind of transcendence in this book.

Fun read that smaks a little like twilight- but then sends you off on an entirely new direction. I'll look the sequal up this summer.

Finished reading The Wasp Factory (1984) by Iain Banks this morning on the bus to work. This was Banks first published novel & perhaps his most famous. Banks first came to my attention as Iain M. Banks, a science fiction author. I was favorably impressed by the SF novel The State of the Art (1991) so I thought I’d try his mainstream fiction. Being the person I am, I decided to start at the beginning. The Wasp Factory is one strange book. I can’t say I enjoyed reading it exactly, but I’m glad I did. It’s good to expand one’s literary horizons a bit every now & then. For reasons not entirely clear to me, it reminded me of Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding and The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (1965) by Yukio Mishima. The Wasp Factory is about Frank Cauldhame a Scottish teenager, his father and his bother Eric. Frank and his father live on a small island somewhere on the coast in Scotland (in the vicinity of Inverness, I think). They form a particularly dysfunctional family, which is not helped by the news that Eric has escaped from a psychiatric hospital and (Frank assumes) is on his way home. The novel is a first person narrative from Frank’s perspective and he is one strange and twisted individual. In some aspects he seems like a character from a Ryu Murakami novel (maybe Piercing (1994) or Coin Locker Babies (1980)). But Banks draws him so well, that he is not only believable, but I could see just enough of myself in him to get completely sucked into the book. Banks is an excellent writer. At one point in the novel I thought I’d figured out something about one of the central characters, but Banks managed to convince me I was wrong, even though it turned out I was right. As one reviewer said, it’s written from Frank’s perspective and it is a deeply unreliable narrative. The Wasp Factory appears on several list of “important” books: “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die”; The BBC’s 100 Most Popular Books (it’s been on Facebook) and it was selected as one of the 100 best books of the 20th Century in a poll of 25,000 UK readers. But it’s controversial. The review blurbs on the cover of the edition I read, range from “Brilliant… irresistible… compelling” to “Rubbish!” The reviewers on GoodReads.com gave it 3.7 stars (of 5), but a lot of the reviews were 4 or 5 stars and many were only 1. I thought it was a fascinating and disturbing read; it’s not for the faint of heart.
