Pretty good.
A bit of drama at times. But all in all, it's a good read.

Is that how you get in the Book Club? If so, I'd say don't do it. Might be better off selling your soul to the devil.

Next up: The War of the World- Twentieth Century Conflict and the Descent of the West by Niall Ferguson. (I'm on this weird military history kick.)

The Makioka Sisters, by Junichiro Tanizaki. Very good so far, it's set in wartime Japan and follows four sisters from an old fashioned and once illustrous family as they struggle to find a place in modern Japan. Surprisingly refined and sensitive when compared to his later, more fetish obsessed works.

Norman's a good novelist, but a much better journalist. I met the man once, talked to him and shook his hand . . . lord, what a total flaming @$$hole he was.
As for me, I've gotten through about 270 pages of
Finnegan's Wake, or about twice as much as I've ever managed to do before. Hey, I've read some difficult books in my life, but
this one . . . sheesh!
