Okay, let's see how freakish we can get...
Is your next book on your reading list..."The Dummy's Guide to Ear and Nose Hair Removal"...because if it is, I'm gonna shout "Twilight Zone!" and go hide in my closet?
I'd be interested in what your wife thought of 'Heart of Darkness' because, as mentioned, some friends ("well-read" friends too) told me that for a short book they thought it was the longest and dullest book they'd ever read. Me, I disagreed - I did think it was "steady", like a slow boat up a muddy viewless river into very gradually increasing "darkness", but obviously in a good way appropriate to its story.
Cheers,
Marc
