In Samuel Beckett's mid-1950s existentialist play, Waiting for Godot, the two principal characters spend all of their time in anxious anticipation, summed up when one asks, "What are we doing here, that is the question." Answering his own query, he says, "We are waiting for Godot to come." Bear that in mind as you read these three book reviews, particularly since in Beckett's play, Godot never comes.
