How was your July? Is it hot? Anything exciting happen?
I read JS & MN in two chunks: started it in mid-Dec 2014 but then didn't want to carry an 850 page book while traveling over the holidays, then ended up not finishing it til summer 2016. I really liked it but it's definitely something you have to be in the headspace to enjoy. On the topic of doorstop books, I just finished The Count of Monte Cristo this past weekend. Such a wild ride and much easier going than I expected!
ReplyDeleteI can see how it would be a stop and go book. A two year span is something! I will probably put it back down at least until school is well underway. I might end up doing like you if I feel like I cannot get back into it properly. I do know I want to read some Ray Bradbury for fall/Halloween. Plus I want to be able to complete as much of the reading challenge as possible. I love hearing that you enjoyed Count of Monte Cristo. I will keep an eye out for it when I browse the used bookstores.
