You know, when you asked this my response would have been much different than it is now. I'm about 150 pages from the end. I'll hold off commenting until then.

#11 I checked out your review of Drood and it was what I expected. It looks like a long slog of a book, and I think I'll pass on it.

#16 I read the Physick Book of Deliverance last year and liked it well enough. How did you like it?

FYI: I don't know if you are aware of it or not, but if you put brackets on either side of your book title when you post, those people who visit your thread can click on it and check out the books you are reading, and your reviews would be much easier to find. Just saying.... :)
