Snicket, Lemony: (01) The Bad Beginning: I went to the library today looking for audio books, and read Lemony Snicket's The Bad Beginning as a result. This makes sense, really. I have a five-hour drive ahead of me on Sunday. Since I don't have a...
Snicket, Lemony: (02) The Reptile Room (audio): Listening to the audio book of Lemony Snicket's The Reptile Room was a mixed experience. On one hand, there really isn't much plot, and what plot there is you can usually see coming pretty far in advance—a serious problem...
Snicket, Lemony: (03) The Wide Window: Over breakfast this morning I read The Wide Window, the third book in Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events." There's really not much to say about these once you've read a few, so I'll refer you all to Pam's...
Snicket, Lemony: (04-06) The Miserable Mill (audio); The Austere Academy (audio); The Ersatz Elevator: In late January, I drove to Massachusetts for two baby showers in two days. As is my wont, I listened in the car to Lemony Snicket audiobooks, in this case The Miserable Mill and The Austere Academy. Mill, the...
Snicket, Lemony: (07) The Vile Village: The seventh Lemony Snicket book, The Vile Village, continues to ramp up my interest in the ongoing plot. Someone named Snicket appears, more things with the initials V.F.D. pop up, Klaus has his thirteenth birthday, and Sunny learns to...
Snicket, Lemony: (08) The Hostile Hospital (audio): I listened to Lemony Snicket's The Hostile Hospital, the eighth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, on tape for a road trip some time ago. For an actual summary of the book, I can't improve on Pam's book...
Snicket, Lemony: (08.5) The Unauthorized Autobiography: While Lemony Snicket's The Unauthorized Autobiography was published between books 8 and 9 of A Series of Unfortunate Events, I only read it over this weekend, thanks to a reminder in comments. The book is as metafictional as promised by...
Snicket, Lemony: (09) The Carnivorous Carnival: I saw recently that the last book in A Series of Unfortunate Events will be published this fall (aptly titled The End), which reminded me that I'd never finished listening to the ninth book, The Carnivorous Carnival. Unfortunately, the audiobook...
Snicket, Lemony: (10) The Slippery Slope (audio): I think I may do a single run at finishing A Series of Unfortunate Events, now that the last book's out and I'm in the mood for some frivolity. At any rate, I just finished listening to the tenth book,...
Snicket, Lemony: (11) The Grim Grotto (audio): The eleventh book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Grim Grotto, takes place almost entirely underwater and makes a concerted effort to muddy the waters of the series, a phrase which here means "tries to suggest that people are...
