So bland, so empty, so meaningless - not at all on par with the wonderful content of the book.<br /><br />As for <i>Nocturnes</i>, I quite like the paperback cover (a lot more than the British edition or the hardcover). The book itself is okay - I also really liked <i>The Remains of the Day</i>, but after reading <i>Nocturnes</i> in one sitting last week, I'm a little disappointed. It's a nice book, but it's still a collection of short stories. Some are really good, others... less so. I wonder what you'll think of it.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-32877831163238597562010-09-25T12:36:06.654-04:002010-09-25T12:36:06.654-04:00The cover of the Grossman book is so beautiful!
