That's brilliant, Lil Me - I read it for the second time earlier this year.

I'm about halfway through.  Finding it a slower read due to the level of description, but loving the details about all the characters.  I had previously read the Jake& the Kid books, which went at a much faster pace.

I far preferred it to Jake and the Kid - I liked the slower pace!

As much as I'm enjoying the book, I'm hoping to pick up the pace of reading and get it done already.  I have a stack of new library books- including Atlantis Rising by Clive Cussler!

I'm off to the library tomorrow - in search of some good escapist material.

I just finished my book and now looking to read Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordon.... only to find that I'm missing the damn book. Now I have to go out and buy the copy. Sheesh.

The swords of Night and Day by David Gemmell. Excellent book. I haven't been this engrossed in a long time.

The Old Patagonian Express - Paul Theroux.

  Almost as interesting as the written contents of this book (which is at least third hand, the donor having died in August) are the intriguing items which were left between some of the pages; incuding:

  two Mongolian banknotes dated1983, a clipping from the Golbe & Mail dated 1993 which relates to the deportation of a Canadian from Mongolia  - and a Mongolian Airlines boarding ticket. I have a feeling that these 'extras' have a story of their own, and I intend to unravel it - one day.

Men Lie- David Maxwell
