MR. MALCOLM'S LIST (Suzanne Allain) - June 30/23

 Yeah, this is fine. I enjoyed it well enough in the first half but I did find my interest seriously waning after that. At least it's short. **1/2 out of ****

THE PAINTED BIRD (Jerzy Kosiński) - June 22/23

 I can't say I was really enjoying this in the beginning but I was eventually drawn in by the episodic narrative. It's really repetitive, though, and even though it's short, the book feels pretty long. **1/2 out of ****

DISNEY'S LAND: WALT DISNEY AND THE INVENTION OF THE AMUSEMENT PARK THAT CHANGED THE WORLD (Richard Snow) - June 16/23

 This is one long book. It's got some really interesting parts but Snow really gets into the minutia of certain things and as a result it did feel like I was reading this forever. Still, it made me very desperate to visit Disneyland, so there's that. *** out of ****
