You might think, because of the nature of these book related pictures from various Facebook pages, that I have spent my entire Sunday reading. But I haven’t. I’m saving that for tomorrow, day two of two days off. I’m part way through The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt, which is turning out to be a book with no end in sight. Had to take a break.
What I’ve actually been doing today is making myself feel less sad about the fact that there are only two seasons of Downton Abbey available on Netflix by watching The Good Wife instead. I didn’t notice how many seasons there are to get through on that one, but I’ll take a serious stab at getting to the end of them.
It’s a hard life I know, but don’t worry, I’m managing okay.

Glad to hear. I’m about 3/4 through Goldfinch. A little tired of all the drugs. It’s on my e-reader so I vary it with “real” books.

I think this is the longest amount of time I’ve ever spent on a book. It just seems to go on and on and never really gets anywhere. I’m reading other stuff at the same time too. Hate to give up on it, but I can see it happening.

How are you liking Goldfinch? I have to read it for my book club. Haven’t started it yet.

I hope they give everyone extra time for Goldfinch. It’s very very long. The writing is fine, but I’m finding it very slow going and just wish the kid would get on with his life already. I’m not usually impatient with a story, but I am with this one. Could be just me – maybe you’ll love it. Don’t let me discourage you.

I could get very impatient as well. I like a novel to move along at a fast pace. I tend to like short novels so this is going to be a challenge for me. Thanks for your feedback.

Funny but I’ve passed George R.R. Martin in the second hand bookshops for years. I think now that I might go back and give him a go.

Ever since I was 14 and slogged through one-half of War and Peace before wising up and deciding it was an overblown extremely tedious soap opera of very little merit (in my clearly unworthy opinion), I have a fifty-page rule: If a book cannot entrance me by page fifty, or draw me in by enriching or educating me in some interesting way…it has not earned its keep. Fie upon it for my fifty-page waste of time.
(That goes for YOU, Faulkner, you wordier-than-wordy self-indulgent Southerner! And I liked Joyce’s Ulysses, for heaven’s sake!)
Ain’t The Good Wife grand? : )
