It&#8217;s good and all, but three or four pages leaves me exhausted and longing for the something simple and readable, like John Donne.

Of course, I have now put it in my bag for work. There is no better way to ensure that you get a book read, especially if there are no seats free on the evening train.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/musings-on-a-difficult-book#comment-201 2003-07-09T14:08:56+00:00 2003-07-09T14:08:56+00:00 <p>It&#8217;s been a while, but I remember enjoying possession. I think once you&#8217;re through it, you&#8217;ll be glad you read.</p> actionplant
