Re: READING?

[David Coffin <dpcoffin@earthlink.net>]

Besides all the damn magazines, manuals and websites that make up 95% 
of my reading, I'm enjoying the hell out of "Jonathan Strange and Mr. 
Norrell," a very clever, confounding, slow-moving, well-written and 
non-adolescent blurring of some favorite genres that I'd long-ago 
either exhausted or abandoned: Jane Austin novels, realms-of-Faery 
fantasies, alternate histories, dark folk tales...etc. (listening to 
the audio version, btw...my favorite way to read, but my page-rate has 
been seriously reduced by no longer having a commute. Just can't get 
back into long, full-body reading sessions...weird; they used to be my 
main pleasure)
