Since blogger's not accepting this info in the sidebar for some reason, here's what I'm currently reading...Didion is, of course, a pleasure and why I didn't read this sooner I really don't know. The Historian has an interesting premise but for all the hype, I'd have to say, is probably one of the worst edited books I've read in a long time. Clocking in at over 600 pages, the story within a story within a story within a story is an awkward and confusing device(s?) and there is no reason this book couldn't have been cut to 300 pages. Still, it will make a good movie (hopefully) which is why I started reading it before the deal was announced. oh well.
