I’ve been remiss in keeping up with Bunnies4Buddha’s book reviews. She’s had a couple new reviews up on her book page. The most recent are for The Turkish Gambit by Boris Akunin, who B4B describes as “the James Patterson of Russia – writing popular series books about the same character.” The second is a collection of interviews with Edward Gorey called Ascending Peculiarity. Karen Wilkin edited the collection. Be sure to read her reviews of both.

Since writing those reviews, she has read a few other books. For the Series of Unfortunate Events books, she’s waiting to finish all of them before reviewing. She’s also finished two Neil Gaiman books, Neverwhere and Stardust, but is waiting to watch the TV/Movie adaptations before she reviews those. So be alert for more excellent write-ups from her.

Meanwhile, I have finished The Bible Against Itself, which turned out to be an eye-opener to me. I plan on posting about it as time permits. Since finishing that, I’ve gone back to reading more of Thomas Paine’s writings. Currently, those include the The Forrester Letters that Paine wrote in response to ones written against the war for independence. The letters critical of the war were written by someone going by the name ‘Cato’ and are directly critical of Paine’s Common Sense which I read earlier this year.
