That's not a bad thing for me, Sashana - historical romance is my comfort reading. I've been enjoying a relaxing read of Regency Buck this week, in-between all the cleaning & preparation in anticipation of hosting Thanksgiving Dinner & game-playing.

Suzanne,I noticed that you just finished The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. I've had it on my TBR shelf for awhile, I just haven't really gotten excited about it enough to read it yet...how is it?
Honestly Erin, I thought it was boring as hell! Literally nothing happens and I know it is supposed to an amzing piece of literature or whatever, but for me it was very lacking. It didn't seem to be to have any feeling in it at all, and I now it was supposed to have some poignant and moving moments but they were completely lost to me. It isn't one I would recommend, but then I think it may be like marmite, you either love it or hate it, as reviews seemed to either give it 5 star or 1 or 2!
Thanks! That's what I was afraid of, and why I don't think I've gotten the ambition to pick it up yet. I do want to try a Cormac McCarthy book, but maybe I'll try something else of his first!
That's okay, I feel I should warn other readers lol, although plenty of people do like it aswell. I haven't read anything else by him, but he must have something better then this!
