Since finishing *Let the Great World Spin* last week I’ve picked up and tried several books on for size: Middlesex, Ladies Detective Agency and Middlemarch (again, and again and again I try to read Middlemarch) with no success. Nothing reads as beautifully.
I tried “The Westing Game” last night and I think the plot is catchy enough to get me through… but… I’m requesting suggestions now: something beautiful, with great characters and an engaging plot. Do not fail me, dear readers, not now.
