As you can see by the list on the left, I signed myself up for March?s discussion so I wouldn?t have to beg for a moderator. Then I realized I should also sign up for June, since I?ve moderated June since BookBlog began.
Neverwhere
is our second title by Neil Gaiman, and it?s one of those books I wasn?t able to put down. It was just as engrossing when I recently read it the second time around since it only took me three days to finish. Mythology, fantasy, and horror all come together to create a fascinating world beneath the streets of London.
Motherless Brooklyn
by Jonathan Lethem, on the other hand, is a murder mystery with an interesting twist: the narrator is an amateur detective with Tourette?s Syndrome. Sometimes satire and sometimes hard-core literature, I admired the main character?s tenacity despite his handicap. In addition, I appreciated the nostalgic portrayal of New York City since I travel there every day for work.
May and July are available and I?m in the mood for begging. Any takers?
