This one's around 650 pages. Not too terrible but definitely long. I've been in a reading rut so to be cautionary I stuck to shorter nominations except for a couple I couldn't resist- this one and the runner-up, heh. I started this last night and am enjoying it so far.

How strange. Usually the U.S. and Canada are in lockstep with ebook availability (as are the U.K. and Australia). I checked the U.S., the U.K. and Australia for all the nominations and the Isherwood is available at all of those so it's odd that it isn't in Canada.
