The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier

At times pedantic and at time poetic.  I found myself skimming a lot in this book, then flipping back to make sure I didn’t miss something good.

It’s a pretty profound look at how our lives touch on those of other people.  I’m curious though, as to what KB has against Coca-Cola?  lol

Kinda like a train wreck, you hate that you slow down to look, but you do it anyway.

In all fairness, there was a little more not-all-about-the-sex action in this one. Don’t get me wrong, I think sex is a good thing, and am pretty open-minded about it,which you have to be to read LKH and not get wigged. I just, well, I’ve been reading her since before she was famous and she’s writes a great story. It’s just that these days, particularly in this series, she is taking a one-novel story and telling it in, oh, five, to-date and fluffing it with sex. I’m kind of looking forward to when she finally finishes the series so I can read the whole story at once and skim the sex parts. I like sex, I even enjoy reading it sometimes, but, dadnabbit, the balance of sex-story has gone way past 50-50 in favor of sex in this series and its a shame, because I think there is a pretty good story hiding under there.
