Weave Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke: I am still reading the above but not as much, but I find it quite easy to get back into if I take a break and I am determined to finish it. I am really enjoying the story, the characters are brilliant, very visual, I found myself rolling my eyes at one part when Mr Norrell was talking and then in the next line, Jonathan Strange was doing the same. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman: I am almost finished ' Anansi Boys' and I have really enjoyed it, I have been really missing out by not reading any Neil Gaiman before (I did read 'Stardust' at the end of last year), really funny in parts, great dialogue and the stories about Anansi are brilliant.

Weave Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I finished 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell' by Susanna Clarke, it took me ages, but it was well worth it, brilliant read, fantastic story. Sad but true I was really pleased at the end that Jonathan and Mr Norrell where speaking again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renniemist Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Congratulations Gyre! This book defeated me. I have not read your spoiler as I may try again someday. Well done you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks Rennie, I mentioned it before but this was my third attempt, initially it was quite hard to get into (I read 'Anansi Boys' by Neil Gaiman while reading 'Jonathan Strange'), but once I got into it was great. I hope you read it one day Rennie, would love to hear your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
