July Booklist

Nine books in July brings the year to date total to 65.  Here's the list:

1. Kings of Infinite Space by James Hynes
2. Redshirts by John Scalzi
3. We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler
4. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
5. And One Last Thing... by Molly Harper
6. The Mongoliad: Book 2 by Neal Stephenson et al
7. The View on the Way Down by Rebecca Wait
8. Descartes' Bones by Russell Shorto
9. Wedding Night bySophie Kinsella

It was a bit of a mixed bunch really.  I enjoyed Remains, One Last Thing, The View and Wedding Night -- a little disappointed in the rest.  The View was a harrowing account of how depression for a family member could impact the entire family.  One Last Thing and Wedding Night were just comedic romps -- light hearted and at time hilarious.  Descartes Bones was an interesting-ish non-fictional account of how Descartes' ideas influenced science and religion over the past 400 years or so but it was kinda dry overall.  Oh well, 9 books closer to my goal...
