Recently read books

[rhu]

I thought I'd start to use my blog
(Among the other things I often post)
To keep track of the books I've read this year.

Burn This by Lanford Wilson (it's a play)
Was boring, disappointing. But 'twas short.

Kage Baker's books about "The Company"
Are somewhat cool. I mostly liked the first,
Whose title breaks the blank verse rule. Oh, well,
A stitch of dactyls interrupts this post:

   In the Garden of Iden.

In any case, her basic concept's cool.
The heroine reminded me of Soz
(From Catherine Asaro). I must say
I have some reservations 'bout this book,
But overall, was worth the time to read.

Finally, another Baker book,
with a dactyllic title, that I read:

   Mendoza in Hollywood

Was not as cool; it felt like a retread
Of "Iden", and she writes a scene-by-scene
-by-scene narration of "Intolerance"
That surely could be edited to fit
The time allotted. Well, in any case,
I'm not completely turned off to the rest;
I've started on a third book in the set.
