This involved considerably less stress.




I find it hard to talk about this book, because it is just so amazing that I kind of get dumbstruck. I've read it probably seven times and each time I find more details or hidden clues that I'd missed before. It gets better each time I read it. It's dense, but in a delicious, rich way. Margaret Atwood is my favorite author ever- she has a lyrical quality to her work that makes her every turn of phrase both functional and beautiful, and it's a real treat to read. And the way this book is set up- with the newspaper clippings, the novel, and what Iris is writing- it works so well, and it's just gorgeous. Everyone should read it.

Mmm, I'm so intrigued. I've never read that before. I think I'll give it a go!

I feel like I should've included more information if I was going to be enticing people to read it! Seriously though, this book obliterates my ability to speak about it coherently. It is amazing.

I AM GOING TO READ THIS SOMEDAY! I've had it for years. Years. But I eventually got around to Rebecca, so, see, I can do this! Mama's just a little slow.

Craig Ferguson is currently discussing Olivia Williams with Pierce Brosnan.

It is amazing.

(And you really, really should read this.)

Seriously?!?! Oh yeah, because she plays Mrs. Pierce Brosnan in The Ghost Writer! That is amazing! Damn it, am I going to have to watch Craig tonight?

* laughs * I've read it twice and I still don't quite get it. I do admit, the writing and imagery are beautiful.

You should try it again! It's amazing.
