Welcome to Litsy!

Wanting something different to the normal genre of books that I read, I chose Ancient Light by John Banville, an author that I had not come across before. In my opinion, the author has taken the longest, rarely used words from a dictionary and surrounded them with an abundance of uninteresting text as he tries to recollect, not always successfully, his coming of age in the 1950's. Enduring ninety pages was as much as I could take before bailing.
