^Lol at orlok and Nyssa. I didn't even vote for either of the two runoffs. It was just a wasted book club opportunity to me. Opinions and mileage will vary.
I'm halfway through
Gao Xingjian's Soul Mountain. I was worried about this one. One of the bigger ones on my list from an author I've never read with some mixed feelings from reviewers on if it was Nobel Prize worthy. It's been very good. a sort of Chinese folktale book intermixed with the narrator's journey.
