The Innocents Abroad: Or, the New Pilgrims' Progress
Maybe 4 1/2 stars? Frequently hilarious, could be tightened up a bit, particularly in the Holy Land section.
1066 & All That: 75th Anniversary Edition (Methuen Humour)
Funny, requires quite good knowledge of British history.
Liar's Poker: Rising through the Wreckage on Wall Street
I feel like I should like Michael Lewis more than I actually do.
Wolf Hall: A Novel
4 1/2 stars, really-the oddball pronoun thing is pointless, and sometimes confusing. Otherwise, amazing.
Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs
I like Jennings's blog and Twitter, but the book suffers a bit from its neither fish nor fowl nature.
Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
Fascinating subject, somewhat undercut by Lewis being annoying.
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
Well done, but I think I've lost interest in books whose theme is the brutal death of huge portions of the world's population.
