Screaming Bean
Monday, June 21, 2004

Summer is now upon us. For those of you in hotter climes, this is the point where you laugh hysterically and say, "Where have you been?" I have the freckles to prove I've been outside. I also am working on a lovely tan line under my watch. But this is okay, it's the summer. Summer is for relaxing and reading books. I've taken the latter to heart. So far I've read The Slippery Slope, Paper Chase, DW: A Lifetime Going Around In Circles, Angels and Demons, The Radioactive Boy Scout, and am currently working on Poison: A History and Family Memoir, and Cannibalism and the Common Law. Yes, DW is about Darrell Waltrip the NASCAR driver, and it's an interesting but poorly dictated autobiography about his time as a racecar driver. Unless you're a diehard, skip this one. Angels and Demons was particularly good, and I would have to agree its better than The DaVinci Code. However, I'm glad I read DaVinci first, because the patterns in style from Angels and Demons would have made DaVinci even more predictable. The Radioactive Boy Scout is a mildly creepy book about a creepy geeky kid who had a preternatural obsession with all things chemical. Poison is interesting yet conflicted. It can't seem to decide whether it wants to be a book about poison or a book about her grandfather who happened to be a poisoner. It could have been two full books, instead it's a mishmash of both. And as for the last, Cannibalism and the Common Law, I picked it up because it's on a pre-L reading list somewhere. I remember the case from Crim Law, but the book is too dry and scholarly for my tastes. I was a history major, but do I need a blow by blow of yachting in the 19th century to understand the case any better? Nope. And so ends Beanie's Book Reviews for this week. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to let me know. I'll read nearly anything.
