Ask a Bookseller: Literary Mash-Up by McNally Robinson - Thursday, Mar 27, 2008 at 11:07am

Mike Paget writes:

"I work as an educational designer and simulation technician for the faculty of medicine, and I also make videogames in an art context. I read a fair bit of technical material, so I'm always looking to balance that with fiction. I've read the complete works of the following and liked them:

  • Steinbeck
  • Hemingway
  • Murakami
  • Kafka
  • Mishima
  • Hesse
  • Dostoevsky

I'm not a huge Thomas Pynchon fan. But I definitely enjoy somewhat noir, suburban hallucinatory existentialism. I also read some bad fantasy pulp."

Well Mike, your question had several of our booksellers frothing at the mouth, since your taste happens to coincide nicely with theirs....

The Boundless Deep By Kate Brallier by Chadwick Ginther - Saturday, Feb 16, 2008 at 9:29am

Kate Brallier's sophomore effort more than lives up to the promise shown by her first novel, Seal Island. Admittedly, this was a bit of a stretch for me to read. I tend to like my stories a lot heavier on the paranormal than the romance. Still, some of my happiest discoveries have come from pushing my boundaries beyond my reading comfort zone. There are so many books that I would never have read and enjoyed without taking such a chance, and I am happy to add The Boundless Deep to that list.
