"The Incomparable Atuk" by Mordecai Richler

A nice light read. I have found out I enjoy vicious satire. A bit dated, since it was published in 1963, and still refers to Eskimos.

"In the Stacks: Short Stories about Libraries and Librarians " by Michael Cart

I bought this book years ago because it related to Libraries, and I finally finished it yesterday. Can't say I was taken with all the stories, but the authors were good.

"Lavinia" by Ursula Leguin

I really enjoyed this addition to the Aeneid of Virgil, which presents Lavinia's point of view. Apparently, she doesn't say a word in the poem. I bought the book because I used to love mythology, and because I studied the Aeneid in a university literature course. I actually much preferred Homer's Odyssey, but there you have it. By the way, I'm not inspired enough to reread the Aeneid, or even part of it.

"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" by Ransom Riggs

Bought this young adult book because of its freaky vintage photos, because it seemed like a good Gothic story, and because I thought I had read a review somewhere. I was actually disappointed. It was average. Just the first 20 pages were brilliant. It's set up for a sequel, but I won't buy it if one comes out. At least I learned about the hobby of collecting vintage photos, and even briefly considered doing it myself.
