1. The Power Broker

   Have you seen the size of this thing? It's over 1300 pages long. That is more than the first three Harry Potter books put together. Which I also haven't read.

2. Vellum

   I may have to create a new category for this kind of book: Books I'm Not Sure I Started.

3. The Secret History of the World

   It may come as a shock to some that Christianity has roots in older traditions, or that many cultures share similar stories.

4. Last Year at Marienbad

   A man, a woman, and another man. One man is maybe the woman's husband. The other man is pursuing her, telling her that they met last year at Marienbad.

5. The Talented Miss Highsmith

   I remember how exciting it was to read The Talented Mr. Ripley some years ago. This isn't about that.

6. Wetlands

   The book opens with "As far back as I can remember, I've had hemorrhoids."

7. Finding Oz
