 I Forgot To Mention

I have been meaning for some time to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I finally took the time to get it from the library, and I'm enjoying it a great deal. It's sort of Austenian, but that's probably a very lazy way to describe Susanna Clarke's intricate and elegant tale of magic in a Regency England that is almost, but not quite, ours. So far, I'm finding Mr. Norrell both pathetically unlikeable and fascinating. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of Jonathan Strange.

So far I'm enjoying it, for "having my heart broken" values of enjoying it. (In the midst of Steven Black's story, and truly disliking both Faerie and Mr. Norrell.

Mr. Norrell is excellent to loathe! ^_^
