The Top Shelf: Schlocko's 5-Star "Goodreads" Reviews (Updated) - Page 2

Recently, I became aware that there were actual sentient adult beings following my book reviews, and this realization terrified me, because if I influenced a person to read something (s)he hated as much as I loathe, say, "Anna Karenina," I would never be forgiven. But then I figured that's about as first-world a problem as it is possible to have. So here's a list of my faves, and if you don't revere John le Carre as much as I do, well, tough you-know-whatty.
