James Igoe's Reviews > Nothing That Meets the Eye: The Uncollected Stories of Patricia Highsmith

Nothing That Meets the Eye: The Uncollected Stories of Patricia Highsmith by Patricia Highsmith My rating: 5 of 5 stars Nary an off note, an interesting collection of short stories, the first half earlier light pieces, the seconds half written later, and often a bit darker. A very rewarding read, and personally, the second half was worth the time it took to get to, as I found it more engaging than the first half. View all my reviews

James Igoe's Reviews > Godel's Proof

Godel's Proof by Ernest Nagel My rating: 4 of 5 stars Interesting and not terribly written but in a few areas highly repetitive. My background is not deeply mathematical, so maybe I was missing a subtlety here and there, but it seemed to be stating the same meanings over and over, although the bulk of the book was engaging and thought-provoking for someone 'mathy' like myself...

James Igoe's Reviews > Here

Here by Richard McGuire My rating: 5 of 5 stars Thought-provoking, contemplative work. It seems at first inconsequential, a book of pictures, but when one is finished, left with a sense of something more weighty, life itself. View all my reviews
