Weekly Twitter Recap: Mainstream
Here’s a recap of what I have spotted people reading in public places:
Fluke: Or, I Know Just Why The Caged Whale Sings by Christopher Moore
I’m a big fan of Christopher Moore, but this is one of the few books by him I haven’t read. It’s the story of a marine biologist who one day while doing whatever it is marine biologists do, stops a whale with “Bite Me” written across its tale. In typical Moore fashion there is an eccentric cast of characters who join in on this adventure. Even though I haven’t read this particular book by Moore, i’ve read enough of his other ones to know that this one is pretty much guaranteed to by funny.
Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult
After being released from jail after be accused wrongfully of statutory rape, the protagonist retreats to Salem Falls, NH to start his life over. Naturally things do not go as planned as his secrets come out along with everybody else’s. It’s a story about rape and reputation while at the same time being based on The Crucible. After reading about this book and its characters, I found myself comparing it to Moore’s Fluke in terms of an eccentric cast. Also, she wrote a Wonder Woman graphic novel? Awesome.
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
Here is my confession: I am not a big David Sedaris fan. Everybody I speak to loves his books. But I have tried multiple times to read this one only to get bored and set it back in the shelf. I did manage to make it most of the way through Naked before I lost interest in that one. Maybe i’m just odd. I can see his appeal and it does sound like something I would read when a person describes Sedaris to me. He has a new book coming out in June that I will check out to see if my mind can be changed.
The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub
I’ve have only read a handful of Stephen King books. Mainly his Dark Tower series which he describes as his “magnum opus.” What I liked about the Dark Tower series is that instead of being a horror book I saw it as a science-fiction book. The Gunslinger, the Dark Tower protagonist, traveled from one world to another in his quest to reach the Dark Tower. Along his journey he intersects people from King’s other books. The book The Talisman is one of those books that is connected to the Dark Tower. In this book we have a twelve year old boy who travels to a different world in hopes of finding this special Talisman that can cure his mom of cancer. It sounds interesting and I would probably read it just to understand the connections to The Dark Tower.
Drag King Dreams by Leslie Feinberg
The story of Max, a lesbian bartender, who begins to isolate herself(himself?) after the world seems to fall apart after 9/11. But her fighting spirit is rekindled after she receives news that her transvestite gal-pal had been murder on her way home one night.
Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson
British humorist Jon Ronson investigates a collection of people who hold some diverse thoughts about how the world is run. From a person who believes the world is ruled by 12-foot tall lizards to a secret group of people who meet once a year to plan out what is going to happen in the world. Sounds like an entertaining book if only to point out how silly people can be sometimes. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a Scientology protest to go watch.
