Reading The Nix by Nathan Hill which was released last year.?i really enjoying every bit of it but it is bloody huge. Apparently the paper copy is about 750 pages. After reading Auster's 4-3-2-1 earlier this year, which was 860 odd pages, I really wasn't ready for another vast book so soon.
Meanwhile I have a virtual stack of Booker nominees (Lincoln at the Bardo, the Ministry of Utmost Hapiness, Swing Time, Monica Ali's Autumn) piled up and ready to go. reading in the summer is a great pleasure but I think I've gotten a bit carried away this year.
