Steven Wu’s Book Reviews

The Best Books of 2003-2004
That I Read

5. Dan Simmons’s Ilium
Super fun science fiction. First of a two-part series; Olympos comes out in a few months. I can’t emphasize how huge and exciting this book was.

4. Daniel Keys Moran’s The Long Run
Another big, fun science fiction novel. Not big as in length–it’s only a fraction the size of Ilium–but it’s packed with ideas. Moran writes great books. Too bad he’s basically stopped.

3. Jasper Fforde’s The Eyre Affair
Another fun book. I think you can see a pattern here. I’m not a fan of the depressing stuff, clearly. This is a book (and a series) for book lovers.

2. Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
Ok, never mind, so I do sort of like some depressing novels. This was both an exuberant and deeply saddening novel. It’s happy when the protagonists are young; not so happy when they’re older. I guess that’s supposed to mean something.

1. Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
I still don’t know what the hell this book is about. And I’m not sure it was meant to have any logic, on a global level. Each individual storyline, however, is exquisitely and engagingly crafted.
