Ishiguro is at his very best when he's writing science fiction. Artificial insight, disposability and the certainty of revelation.
If Taika Waititi is still adapting, I trust the guy to make this into something truly special.

I saw lucha libre in Mexico City! A mask was ripped off mid-fight and the crowd went bonnnnnkers. I swear people were gonna rush the ring. Then the offender stuffed the guy's mask down his pants, an insult beyond insults.
I mean. I guess I'm a massive fan of luchadors now.

My first (probably only) Jonathan Kellerman novel, 18 of 41 in the series. Probably an unfair way to sample psychologist/detective Alex Delaware. Weirdly timid. More narrative flair around the characters' pie choices than the murders. LA noir has never been so, well, flavorless.

Man, the clarity of John Irving’s language, the tight circle of his setting, filled to the brim with tiny events and big characters -- I’m sad it’s taken me so long to open this novel.

There's something about the great haunted house novels of the 60s and 70s. Amityville Horror, Hell House, The Shining, all titans of this subgenre -- but Burnt Offerings deserves amplification. The horror muted and quiet, yet proto-Ari Aster. Big recommend!

I don’t think I’ve ever read hardboiled from multiple character povs. Helluva novel.
Off topic, Levin wrote a disastrous sequel to his Rosemary’s Baby called Son of Rosemary. Somebody read it for me — I just can’t.
