I myself had to start it for about three or four times. I faltered a lot but persisted. Took some time and require patience. The style might be the problem. Or perhaps me.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-63474773920915890422011-11-04T07:32:44.905+00:002011-11-04T07:32:44.905+00:00Ah, I tried to The Book of Not once but left it fo...Ah, I tried to The Book of Not once but left it for another time. My mistake was in comparing to the delightful and sublime Nervous Conditions.

Have just checked my library's website and there are no copies in the system, but I've added it to my amazon wish list.

Your blog is becoming my education on Africa, a continent I'm next-to-completely illiterate on, though hopefully not for long with your help.<br /><br />I see you're reading Salinger's debut. I hope you'll have the opportunity also, if you've haven't already, of reading his short stories; in particular, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736768855641666746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-83320117227513958872011-10-12T14:51:43.385+00:002011-10-12T14:51:43.385+00:00What an amazing review!

This sounds like something I would have to be in the right mood for, but that I would definitely read. Very wonderful review today, Nana!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
