I enjoyed The Elegance of the Hedgehog too. I'm so glad Byatt's new book is good, I have it on reserve at the library and after reading Possession I can't wait. I have Nocturnes right here on my side table and can't get to it because others are due back first.:( <br />I had a lot of four and five star reads this year.

I think if I never read a book/see a play/hear a piece of music I don't like, I'm playing it too safe. I like venturing out of my comfort zone a little. So next I guess I should try a graphic novel.

There might be 2-3 that I haven't been that fond of. But, on the whole, I usually read books that I feel fairly safe in knowing I will like, in one aspect or another.<br /><br />I've read a lot of Holocaust-related non-fiction and historical fiction.<br />~~LorriLorMilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106212612782086958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-60760144889419964102009-06-29T09:22:17.206-04:002009-06-29T09:22:17.206-04:00Hi!
