Agony (New York Review Comics) by Mark Beyer
TomMcGreevy's review: "Purgatory envisaged for the sinless? I don't see any humour, if humour is intended... Just life, on the down and out."
The Gate to Women's Country: A Novel by Sheri S. Tepper
TomMcGreevy's review: "A quite lovely book, though sad in parts, speculating about life after a nuclear holocaust. Women and men live largely separately and the reasons why this is so only become clear after reading mosv of the book. Deeply wise in so many ways..."
Norwegian wood by Haruki Murakami
TomMcGreevy's review: "at core, an incredibly sad book that illustrates quite unlike anything else that I have read recently, how life in itself, living in its core essence, alienates oneself from each and every other living being, even cats named seagull. yup, so incredibly sad... so, read it, but be wary if you are of sensitive mind."
Stopping the Panzers : the untold story of D-Day by Marc Milner
TomMcGreevy's review: "A history of the 3rd Canadian Division from D-Day through June 10, 1944 in the Mue River watershed. Milner re-evaluates the performance of the Division given their specific objective of stopping a panzar counterattack on the Normandy beaches. A good, readable history, if repetitive in places."
