I've taken 2 weeks off from this book with no strong inclination to return to it... this is possibly a bad sign.

Galilee, a supernatural family saga by Clive Barker. lots of great stuff but also a lot of uninspiringly flat dialogue. about a third in.
maaaaaybe. I dunno. there's a lot about this eerie mansion where the narrator is apparently writing the novel I'm reading and I am just a sucker for well-described eerie mansions. especially ones in the Louisiana swamps with imported hyenas roaming the grounds and porcupines occupying an upper floor. I keep thinking about that mansion. but then I also keep thinking about the laughable dialogue and I cringe.
if it makes you unhappy, leave it. usually a sign of a crap book. reading for pain is not the way to gooo :(

but my undead status means I am literally going to "live" forever. I have all the time in the world to read Galilee!
