text The Fifth Element by Terry Bisson
I found this in my local library (not in the best of conditions) and read it without checking it out.To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.Yes, the plot follows the movie religiously (it is a screenplay novelization after all), but it looks like the author couldn't be bothered with do...

text Any Day Now: A Novel
An alternate history of the sixties, most particularly 1968 as seen through the eyes of Clay and his friends living on nearby communes. Rather disappointing overall with the historical changes feeling very arbitrary and not always completely in character from what I remember of that time. The commun...
