Finally finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. It involved putting both kids to bed by 8:15 and staying up past midnight, but I made it through the last 200 pages, over a month after first cracking the book open. It was worth it.
I have an entire bookcase of unread goodies waiting for me. Nevertheless my family continue to give me books - and in some cases, big dense ones - because they know of my propensity to have two or three going at any given time, and they know that I will in fact read them. Now the only question that remains is what comes into the rotation, in between the rest of the Mayflower history and the Looming Tower (too depressing to read this week). I'm thinking something paperback, fiction, and frivolous.
