Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

It's sitting in my room unread, but it looks really good.

It's one of the only excessively long books that deserves to be that humongous.

I agree. a blast of a book. reminds you that reading can be fun, the stories can still reach you, all that. though Jack Ketchum's good as well. I'd recommend THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, however. it ruined me. and, ridiculous as it sounds, though I have it, even, I've yet to read my AMERICAN GODS. no excuse at all there, b/c I dig Gaiman.

I am in the middle of this book right now. I love all the footnotes.

Istarted it on a flight to Southern California and didn't pick it up again until a few flights later. Well my last flight was long and I got into it. Now of course I can't' put it down. Damn books.

absolutely wonderful. 1/2 way through it and i can't finish it quick enough.

if you're digging it, you might also link Kelly Link. both their prose and their . . . I don't know: content? way of building a scene? something, anyway.

I really enjoyed the hell out of it.
That's all I got.

i read somewhere that it took her 10 years to write.

I picked up a British copy of the book when I was in Scotland and even with the typing being smaller and the pages being bigger, the American version I scoped in B&N was something like 50-60 pages shorter. Makes me curious about what the rest of the 'merican crowd is missing out on.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to reading it just yet, so I can't comment on the quality of the sucker.

after such a long and in-depth book, the ending was rushed and anti-climactic. it's still a great read though.
