The Million Dollar Putt

Gutman, Dan
Ed, a blind teen, takes up golf. Pretty good story.

Quote:

I sure wouldn't want to have asthma. I think I would worry all the time about when my next attack would come. At least blindness is something you can count on every day.

Found

Haddix, Margaret Peterson
Book 1 of the The Missing series. An adopted teen gets a disturbing letter. And then another. And then there was that mysterious airliner with all the babies thirteen years before. Pretty good, feels like I've read it before, though.

The Midnight Library

Haig, Matt
Nora is tired of living and decides to OD. The librarian from her school days intervenes. Or something like that. Very good, I enjoyed reading it very much!

Quote:

According to science, you start off as coal and you end up as coal. Maybe that was the real-life lesson. -- Superman LIED to me!!

Quote:

Mrs. Elm tutted disapprovingly. "For someone who has read a lot of books, you aren't very specific with your choice of words."

Quote:

A Moment Of Extreme Crisis In The Middle Of Nowhere
"Oh fuck," whispered Nora, into the cold. -- That's a whole chapter there!

Quote:

Schrödinger's husband, so to speak.

Quote:

"Bless you," said Nora, watching as the tissue disappeared from the librarian's hands the moment she'd finished using it, through some strange and hygienic magic.

Camouflage

Haldeman, Joe
A pretty darn good story of an alien being exploring Earth of a period of a million years or so. The romantic part came upon me a little too suddenly, but I can live with it. The end made me tear up a little.

Quote:

"Bicycling causes rain," Jack said. "Scientific fact." (pg. 105)

Words I Had To Look Up:

Collegial (pg. 81) -- Characterized by camaraderie among colleagues.

Ephemeris (pg. 147) -- A table of values that give the positions of astronomical objects in the sky.

Fale (pg. 161) -- Traditional Samoan thatched roof house.

Inchoate (pg. 268) -- Not yet completed or fully developed.

Shannon entropy (pg. 276) -- Some complicated thing having to do with information theory. Look it up yourself!
