Art Garfunkel famously keeps track of the books he has read since 1968. As of writing this, the count is 1327 (he does not add a review). I thought I could do something similar but I am adding short reviews of books as I read them, and I rake my brain over what I read over the last decades. This is, evidently, a work-in-progress: there are 649 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.
Neal Stephenson: Polostan
I read Snowcrash etc back in the day, but as I have never been into that kind of fiction, I never became a Stephenson fanboy. This, however, is something different: the first of a three-part historical novel, or maybe alternative historical? Anyway, Stephenson inserts his larger-than-life heroine into real events with real people, but, of course, we see things happen that we can never know whether are true (we do know that since Aurora is a fiction, she certainly was not there). But a very strong beginning of something that can well be a major modern novel.
