Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

After hearing Sedaris promote this book on Dutch radio (I didn’t know that much about him before, certainly never heard him read or tell stories), I was intrigued. It seemed to me he had my sort of humor. This book isn’t quite laugh out loud funny, but more painful stories about animals displaying very human characteristics. Pretty interesting, but not much more than that. I am trying one of his family books next, I hear those might be more to my taste.
