Books read in February, other than those reviewed earlier:

Rising from the Plains, John McPhee (reread)
All Men of Genius, Lev A. C. Rosen—this is a vaguely steampunk YA (I think) novel about a genius who disguises herself as her twin brother in order to attend the best science/engineering college in an alternate London where people are casualy doing organ transplants, within or across species, without problems of rejection, but everyone still believes in the luminiferous aether. It's full of characters whose names are out of Oscar Wilde (including a Cecily Worthing who rereads her fictional diary when bored at dinner). Fun, in a minor sort of way (I have it on my PDA but probably won't reread it).
Tales from Earthsea, Ursula Le Guin (reread)
H is for Homicide, Sue Grafton (reread)

[So, four fiction, two nonfiction, this month; four rereads, two new]
