Phew. My 5th book from the International #Booker longlist took some time, and some perseverance. It flows, it‘s just keep going. A schoolteacher learns of the layout of electrical solenoids connecting through Bucharest, becomes a mite messiah, floats two feet over his bed loses his way in every building, and turns into something like a sperm. Dear reader, you're left to decide what to make of this.

BarbaraBB I am not sure I‘m going to read it… 3d

Tamra Got this one for my husband because it sounds like it‘s right up his alley. 3d

Graywacke @BarbaraBB it‘s a commitment. But you‘re my imagined fearless reader. You might love it. (Although Im finding the biggest fans grew up in Eastern Europe. Seems many feel they can relate) 3d

Graywacke @Tamra just don‘t let him blame me! 😇 3d

BarbaraBB Thank you, that‘s a huge compliment coming from you! Yet I do have some fear for such a chunkster! 3d

sarahbarnes Great review! I just started this one and I‘m already tied in mental knots. It feels like a Pynchon novel. But I‘m strangely attracted to the story so we‘ll see how far I get…. 2d

Graywacke @sarahbarnes you‘re just beginning the adventure. There are highs and lows. You have so much stuff ahead of you! 2d

Wildwood Dancing | Juliet Marillier

I love this book. It was my most reread during middle school and rereading it now, 17 years on, hasn't changed it all that much. I'll hopefully be meeting Juliet at a convention soon, so the revisit was comforting. I've not yet read any of her other work so aiming to read some more before then.
