Rhon-a-logue: Leave no book unfinished.

A faithful list of all the books I read (starting in January, 2005). Starting October 2007, also includes reviews and opinions from the sister who started it all with her attempt at Christmas 2004 to recall all the books she had read that year. Now you can find out exactly what we think about everything we read.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke

This one was marvellous!! Especially for a History/English double major. A thoroughly plotted, detailed novel sent in an England where magic never ceased to exist, with footnotes referencing books that "were" published in this alternate present. I ordered this one through a bookclub based on a review in Entertainment Weekly. It did not disappoint; although sadly, no one I know has been interested in reading it. The length and subject matter seem daunting, I suppose.

January 2005.
