The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
4/5
A personal anti-adventure, gripping and poignant and pedestrian.

Don't Vote It Just Encourages the Bastards by P.J. O'Rourke
2/5
P.J. O'Rourke is hilarious when given something to react against. His Driving Like Crazy anthology last year was superb. Sadly this latest tome is closer to the dire CEO of the Sofa... It's just conservative talking points and cheap shots at the lefties. Not even funny cheap shots or it would be worth reading. Ironically in one chapter O'Rourke reviews recent left and right wing books and chides them for the same mindless behavior. Disappointing.
