I'm trying to get this Bookwyrm thing right. I wish I could just edit the database directly, because trying to add over 1,000 books to my library through the web interface is a pain in the butt.

I have liked all of Doctorow's books I have read but I felt Pirate Cinema was even better than his more will known works.
In a near future Britian a teenage boy gets his family cut off from the internet for one year for torrenting classic movies. He was using them to remix his own movies.
In hope of running away from his problems he runs away to London and ends up in a homeless shelter, where he meets some pretty dodgy characters who teach him how to squat and pan handle and he ends up with more time to download more movies and make more movies.
He meets a beautiful girl and falls in love and accidentally becomes the leader of a pro-piracy movement.
It just felt so realistic, I cried, I laughed, I hoped he'd get laid. If I had anything negative it would …

It just felt so realistic, I cried, I laughed, I hoped he'd get laid. If I had anything negative it would be that the love interest Twenty-Six, nor her family, felt Indian at all. I've had dozens of friends from dozens of different Indian states, and they felt nothing like them to the point I honestly wonder if Doctorow knows any Indians.

I normally love alternative history fiction, but this one just didn't scratch the itch for me. The difference in history here is Churchill losing support among the upper class for the war effort and the "farthing set" negotiates a peace deal with Hitler where he will stay on the continent and leave them alone. But really that's not even the point of the book. Its just a standard "who done it" for a murder in the home of a rich conservative Brit whose kids are PMs. They blame it on the Jew because reasons.
I'm not going to bother reading the rest of the series

I really liked The Great Brain. Feels like something I would hand loved in school.
A Catholic family, with very Lutheran names, living in a very Mormon town has various childhood experiences like getting the first indoor bathroom, a new immigrant moves to town, the Jewish peddler settles down and starts a shop, kids get lost in a cave, and they frame the new one-room-schoolhouse teacher for drinking on the job because he uses too much corprul punishment.
The Great Brain in the title refers to the he middle child always screming a way to make money.
It definitely feels like something they would not allow to be read in public schools now a days, between discussing faith, stereotypes and going through a number of ways for a kid to commit suicide I don't think it will make a required reading list.
