I guess I just feel as if I have to be in the right mood to read it and so far, the mood hasn't come. I pitched it to my book club and they shot it down.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-43802346825758987712010-09-22T21:29:06.748-04:002010-09-22T21:29:06.748-04:00Trish - This IS a long book and when combined with...Trish - This IS a long book and when combined with Bleak House, it feels like I haven't finished a book in ages!
