I must be weird, I'm enjoying every bit of it, although I can see why others might find it too wordy. Maybe a few too many descriptions of the smell of old books and libraries (which I admit, I adore)? ;)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-21342938053474911102007-10-22T23:37:00.000-07:002007-10-22T23:37:00.000-07:00The Secret History by Donna Tartt is perfect for c...The Secret History by Donna Tartt is perfect for curling up in front of a fire too - long and involved but Never boring (like The HIstorian can be....) :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582796689281835066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-52982358972398685872007-10-04T13:33:00.000-07:002007-10-04T13:33:00.000-07:00Helen, it's good to see you again.

It was a slow(ish) read, but very poetic and beautiful. I need to see the movie now. (Can you believe I haven't? I wanted to read the book first.)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-835553683018735582007-10-03T03:05:00.000-07:002007-10-03T03:05:00.000-07:00The English Patient is waiting quietly for me in m...The English Patient is waiting quietly for me in my pile under the bed.

I'm sure I wouldn't do any reading as I'd want to be checking out the sights, umbrella in hand. :) <BR/><BR/>Kristen, you should read it again! Of course, I know you have lots of other good books waiting too. Hmm, tricky, tricky.<BR/><BR/>John, you didn't like it? Ah well, husband didn't either. I love it so far and the fact that all those pages lie ahead makes me happy, so that's good. I'll report back when I finish.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It was 80 here today, by the way, not exactly fall-ish.
