done done done done…done!
i know i’ve read another book in the interrim, but i can’t remember! anyway, i just finished reading pete hamill’s forever yesterday at work.
no amazon review today. i’ll just give a quick sum-up, since i’ve gotta go to work soon. the novel begins in ireland in 1741 with a boy, cormac o’conner, and his family. through a series of unfortunate events (hehe..yeah, i should start that series, too) he ends up in new york prior to the revolution and stays there through nearly 300 years and watches the city change through the centuries. it combines historical events and people with celtic and african magic and religion, a combination that i thought was absolutely wonderful.
it was sooo good! i enjoyed reading this book so much. every time i got to sit down to it at work i didn’t want it to end! i totally recommend it, but with a warning…don’t come to it with any expectations!
read it!
eric bought me kim stanley robinson’s ‘blue mars’ so i should read that, too. and against the recommendation of my friend, darcy, i still want to read dickins’ ‘bleak house.’ 🙂
toodles!

I have a feeling your reading is going to decrease for a bit! The book sounds fascinating, I like the time expanse.
