Finished The Moonstone - that was excellent. Exactly what I needed and kept me guessing until pretty near the end. I agree with some that it is a little overlong - I could have done with fewer chapters from Miss Clack, for example - but it's still a fantastic novel.

Also polished off I Am Legend today, which was absolutely brutal. Fantastically written, but absolutely visceral in its bleakness. Definitely a good read but not one to crack open if you're feeling in the least down!

Spoiler:

I knew from the start that the dog dies, which made it a bit less sad. I hate animal deaths in books generally, as I often think it's a cheap way of playing on people's emotions, but in this I think it worked relatively well. The matter-of-fact nature of the prose helped.

Can't decide what to read now!
