A long long time ago, my 7th grade teacher suggested I catalog the books I read. I quit after a few years and have regretted that decision ever since. It's never too late to start anew. I have a habit of grading books and do so here.

In The Wolf's Mouth, Foulds - C +
This novel came to my attention because it was highly praised by reviewers. It is the story of an Englishman, an American of Italian descent, and a Sicilian-American whose paths all cross in Sicily after the liberation in 1943. It is beautifully written and extraordinarily effective depicting the random violence of war. But there is no real narrative, no particular beginning and ending, just a well-written novel.
