Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
« on: December 07, 2007, 10:34:25 PM »
Anybody else read this?

Hyped as the adult Harry Potter. I'm about a third of the way through it. Heavy going in some ways but fascinating and entertaining.

No I'm afraid I've not seen it about ~ mind you since Amazon are offering it for 0.01 pence (P&P Extra) I don't think I'll bother.

But that still means postage and I'd have to part with a book ~ which I hate doing. No the Mobile Library it is ... They are due on Friday.

I've tried to work my way through that book countless times and still haven't finished it. It is really heavy going and whilst I've found parts of it interesting it is too long winded for my liking.

Plus it's huge!!! There is no way I was dragging that thing around on the train with me, which is where I do most of my reading.
