Spooner

Well, I gave up on Spooner by Peter Dexter. I got 95 pages in and just couldn't bring myself to try to get to 100. It's not that it was bad . . . the writing was good and the setting and characters were well-conceived . . . I just couldn't get into it. It wasn't something that I looked forward to picking up, so I decided life was too short to force it!

Instead, I picked up The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. It grabbed me from the first few pages! I'm still only about 100 pages in . . . I don't know what's been keeping me so busy lately . . . but I look forward to posting about this one soon!
