started it last night, about half way through, and though it was a bit confusing at first, i'm really enjoying it - i love some humor in my reading, and this one has got it, but mostly loving it because the world is fascinating and fairly regularly there are just these beautiful beautiful phrases and imagery. so glad to be reading this!
Read it some time ago. I donated my copy to Friends of the Library. But since nobody has bought it, I bought it again. I will participate in the discussion.
The book sounds like it would be just up my alley, but I'm having a horrible time getting started. I'll keep trying and hope to get into the discussion a little later.
my first impression was off-putting. i couldn't get into it. i think it may have just felt too obscure for my mood at the time. but i stepped back, took a deep breath, put my big-boy pants on, and tried again. i'm really glad i did, because it turned out to be an awesome experience. great book!
