[Each quarter I do a quick roundup of the book and film reviews on Goodreads and Letterboxd. These reviews are too short and off-the-cuff to be included with the more indepth reviews I do on this site.]
Books
The first book I completed this quarter was Douglas Coupland’s new Kitten Clone: The History of the Future at Bell Labs for which I have a review forthcoming in the Literary Review of Canada. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime, here are some off-the-cuff reviews from other books this quarter.
★★★★☆ Midnight Riot
★★★☆☆ Leviathan Wakes
★★★★★ Superman: Red Son
★★★★☆ You Have to F–king Eat
★★★★☆ The Modern Intellectual Tradition: From Descartes to Derrida
★★★★★ The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
★★★☆☆ Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous
Film

I love the fact that my kids now imagine Santa Claus as a heavily tattooed Russian wielding dual broadswords!
