Finally jumping into Talia’s book. It’s been on my To Read for too long. I find her writing style absolutely brilliant.

Actually I did not hate this book, which is different than its jacket describes. Though I disagree with the conclusions, it articulates brilliantly a lot of the struggles I have had with left queer theory over the years.

This book might make me angry, but it’s nice and short and after 600 pages of B-17 history it’ll be nice for a quick read.
Superbly written even if it does at times bog down with statistics and numbers. At times it’s even wistful and romantic, and it’s an essential history of one of the most critical aspects of the war: the establishment of allied air superiority. I’m glad I found this book again.
I read this book more than 20 years ago, donated it a few years ago, and recently bought it again. I’m excited to rekindle my love of aviation history.
The book contains neither a narrative thread nor analytical tenor. Essentially 200 pages of assorted early histories of social networks and another 90 of selective, shallow views of flash in the pan creators. A miss.

This book fascinates. It’s too long by at least a quarter. Wolfe is inconsistent at best. But the final hundred pages rank among some of the finest prose I have ever, ever read.
“Notes on Camp” is a stunning relevant essay even 60 years later.
My 60th (proper) book of the year, hitting my goal for reading. This year I’ve read more than probably any other in my life. And not easy material, either. Philosophy. Books in German. Technical books. It’s been a fruitful year.
