Last night I finished State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. Boy, was I glad to get out of that jungle. I kept thinking of The Man who Liked Dickens, brrr. Now to de-stress with the latest Corduroy Mansions collection.

Was it *that* bad? ;)

A Dutch blogger I follow will be writing a review of this book soon. I'm curious to see what her verdict will be!

It's not bad, in fact it's very good. I just found the situation too horrible for me.

See reply above. I'll perhaps say more about it later.

Yes, you had said in a previous entry that horrible things happened to the main character and that you preferred more pleasant books (as do I). I'm just curious to see if she has the same reaction.

Aw, shame you didn't get on with SoW. I think I liked it because I'm such a wuss in real life I enjoyed living vicariously through Dr Marina Singh! Nicola@vintagereads
