It wasn't until the second story when I was thinking to myself, "How in the hell are these stories connected?" Then, BOOM there it was. I don't want to give anything away, but a little further down there was an awesome line..."A half-read book is a half-finished love affair."
This one is definately worth reading!
I love that quote! And it's so true. I still remember the one book I left half-read. Philip Roth's Letting Go.
very true. till page 80 i wasn't sure whether i should continue, but because of David's other works i've read, i decided to give it a little more time and now i m, as u say, hooked.
Awesome! That'll work out great for me. I should have a couple current reads done by then so I'll be good to go.
Goodreads is deceiving; Mary, she's reading it now (that's an old review)!JSou, tell me the sentence, please, to which you refer. I'm at 50%. I think tommie is way ahead of me.
Black Swan Green is wonderful, too, more straight-forward than Cloud Atlas. And The Thousand Autumns of Jakob DeZoet is a fantastic read.
Black Swan Green and Ghostwritten are both superb. oddly i liked them better than Cloud Atlas. haven't read Thousand Autumns yet.
