Learning the world

Macleod, Ken
A generation starship gets to its destination, finds its already inhabited. Interesting story. One would have thought 10,000 years in the future a replacement for the f word would have been found, though.

Read:

The Hike

Magary, Drew
As user Lala BooksandLala on GoodReads wrote "This was quite possibly the weirdest shit I've ever read." She only gave it two stars. I gave it four. I enjoyed reading and the surprise ending.

Quote:

"You're not just a crab, are you?"
"Very perceptive. The fact that I can fucking talk maybe clued you in."

The Night The Lights Went Out

Heft on wheels

Magnuson, Mike
Fat professor guy loses weight, stops drinking, quits smoking, becomes local hot bicycle rider. Mostly a pretty good book, might read it again.

Read:

After Alice

Maguire, Gregory
Friend Ada goes down the rabbit hole after Alice. Hard to read, but interesting anyway. Spent a LOT of time looking up words!

Quote: Oh well. Marmalade has to make its way in life, like the rest of us, she thought. -- pg. 24

Confessions of an ugly stepsister

Maguire, Gregory
Retake on the Cinderella tale. Surprise twist at end, at least I was surprised. A slow-moving story, but interesting.

Read:

8/2005

Lost

Maguire, Gregory
Confusing story of Winifred Rudge who stops off in London at her cousin's place, run into...ghosts, maybe? It is all cleared up, finally, in a pretty good story. But it was a rough go, for me, for quite a while.

Quote::

...to claim any truck with ghosts. -- pg. 245 - I thought I was the only person who used that word!

What The Dickens

Maguire, Gregory
An orphan tooth fairy finds his way the world, while three children and their cousin wait out a MOBY storm for news of their parents.

Is it a sign of a good book when you want to read more? Or is it better to have a satisfying conclusion?

Read:

3/2011

Wicked: The Life and Times Of The Wicked Witch Of The West

Maguire, Gregory
Interesting take on Oz. Sexual situations.

Read:

7/2002

Cemeteries Of San Diego

Mallios, Seth
Pretty much what it says. San Diego City only. Lots of pictures and several maps.

Read:

The Best Time Travel Stories Of All Time

Malzberg, Barry N.
Fourteen stories selected by Barry Malzberg. Some really good stuff here, except I really didn't care for the Philip K. Dick story.

Read:

4/2010

The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches

Mandanna, Sangu
A witch is hired to tutor some very young witches. A charming story, and there is a romance element, of course.

Quote:

"Niceness is all about what we do when people are looking. Kindness, on the other hand, runs deep. Kindness is what happens when no one's looking."

Quote:

"For the last time, I did not steal your stupid puzzle!"
"It can't have just walked away!"
"We're witches! Maybe it did!

Quote:

"Does this mean you'll come outside and meet everybody?"
"Reluctantly," said Jamie wryly, "and with tremendous ill grace, but yes. I will."

Sea Of Tranquility

Mandel, Emily St. John
Time travel, epidemic, life on the moon. Good story, I enjoyed it. Don't know about the paradox, though.

Quote:

"So we don't own the building," the director said, "but we hold a ten-thousand-year lease on the space." ... "...But there's more." She leaned forward, paused for effect. "The lease is renewable."

Quote:

"... It's always bad chickens."

The Pyramid: The First Wallander Cases

Mankell, Henning
Five stories of the Swedish policeman Kurt Wallander. Pretty good stuff!

Read:

The Shadow Girls

Mankell, Henning
A Swedish poet is unwillingly coerced into hearing the stories of three illegal immigrants. While the stories are quite tragic, there is some humor in his tribulations.

Read:

Mystery! A treasury for younger readers

Manley, Seon, ed.
A number of stories and poems of mystery and wierdness (fairies?) by classic authors like Poe, F. Scott Fitgerald, Thurber and Holmes, for example. I kinda skipped the poetry... Favorite story was The Murder Of George Washington, by Richard M Gordon.
