I might take a look at this one. I'm curious about what you said about the country being a character. How intriguing!<BR/><BR/>--Anna<BR/><A HREF="http://diaryofaneccentric.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Diary of an Eccentric</A>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-89097625739386742672008-11-04T08:29:00.000-05:002008-11-04T08:29:00.000-05:00I enjoyed this book for the fact that it's such a book lover's book. On the other hand, I thought the conclusion was a little melodramatic for my taste. Overall, though, I really liked it, and I pass along the recommendation often.

The fact that this is set in post-civil war Spain and 'literary in tone' pretty much sold me. I'm definitely adding it to my list of books to track down.<BR/><BR/>Shana<BR/><A HREF="http://blog.literarily.com" REL="nofollow">Literarily</A>Shanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07303029261460733363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-46306012786417327212008-11-02T23:42:00.000-05:002008-11-02T23:42:00.000-05:00Oh I never thought about its being a Halloween book. But I enjoyed the book so much that I didn't put it down all day.

I don't even remember the creepiness but I loved the library and the books. He has some profound quotes in there as well, one of which I have on my blog right now.

My book club read it last winter and everyone loved it. It was a unique story yet in a way reminded me of some of my favorite reads.mangomissiveshttp://mangomissives.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-78294571247877092262008-10-31T12:45:00.000-04:002008-10-31T12:45:00.000-04:00Oh, I love this book!
