The Fagles translation is by far the most reader-friendly.
I have always felt that Martin Amis is probably a giant ass. This opinion is only confirmed by my feeling of an increasing crankiness in each new book. I'm glad I read Experience. It's very easy to judge a total stranger based on interviews, but this memoir is an honest account of his untidy life, and it's told with genuine feeling. There's his huge jerk of a famous father, there's a missing cousin, there's a child he knew nothing of. With Experience, readers gain some sympathy for Amis, who turns out to be a real person, and not just some character you read about in Vanity Fair.

Cuba Libre is the pre-quell to Hot Kid and Up in Ruby's Room. It seems that Mr. Leonard has added more history than usual in this book and it's great. Guidall's narration is perfection. However, I have to say between this book and the last few I've listened to, I have learned more about torture methods than I wanted to know.
Predictable.

James Wright makes me want to lick the pages. "I have wasted my life."
I really love John Fowles writing. From the moment I open one of his books, I am transported willingly to wherever the author wants to take me. For some reason, I waited a really long time to read this book. It's probably the title, which brings images of the white insect feeding off of rotten meat. But Fowles tells his readers that his use of the term is from the old and obsolete "whim or quirk." So the story isn't grotesque, it begins with a small party on horseback making it's way through the English countryside in the 1736. It becomes a mystery that evolves into a hearing because one of their members ends up dead, hanging from a tree. And Fowles had me in his grips, even when the story became really, really strange. It bordered on fantasy or hysteria, and I kept waiting for Fowles to bring me back down to earth, but he never did. He left me hanging and then revealed in the epilogue that the story was loosely based on the birth of Ann Lee, and early leader of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, better known as the Shakers. Fowles does a wonderful job of taking the reader by the hand through the world of science and mystery, faith and fiction. And as wonderful as it is, it is also frustrating because I wanted something solid, something to be explained to me that I could take as reality. But I guess that is the point of this novel, as is the point of faith and religion.
This was one of my favorite Lord John books (you think it's because it had so much Jamie??). I wondered if reading this was going to be weird, as I finally got around to watching some of the Outlander TV show. I was worried that it would be tainted by the TV show, but I still kept my unique mental image of Jamie. (My Jamie is bigger and burlier, and a bit smarter than he is portrayed on the TV. My Claire is also a bit more fearless and pragmatic. But I don't expect everything to live up to the awesomeness that is my brain, lol) It's going to be weird, after spending all this time in Lord John world to go back to the regular novels. As I am rereading them in chronological order, I will now pick up in the middle of Voyager, re-read Drums and Fiery Cross, before finally enter new territory.
