Books I read recently, in haiku form.

#102. David Mitchell, BLACK SWAN GREEN

Thirteen's hard. Secret:
I like hobbits, poetry.
Wonder what that means.

#103. Heidi Julavits, THE USES OF ENCHANTMENT

Kidnapped, or did she
Fake escape from Boston 'burbs?
Add witch metaphors.

#104. Michael Lewis, TRAIL FEVER

'96: Gore's liked,
Dubya's drowned out, Nader's fresh.
Attack ads still run.

#105. Kate Muir, LEFT BANK

He cheats. She's a bitch.
Kid runs away. Pretty Paris can't
keep him from nanny.
