Are we a little behind? Or do I still not know how this works? It's May 7, and there's been no mention of the April book. I started Mist this evening. I'm not a big favorite picker, but wow, I love this book. I want to give a word of advise for reading it. I usually save prologues, especially if they're not written by the author, til after I've read the book. Do not do that with Mist. My edition has a foreword by Theodore Ziolkowski; save that for later if you want; I would. But do not save the prologue and post-prologue.
I don't mean to jump the April book. I've gone ahead with Mist because I needed to. I am taking notes this time. I will be ready to talk about it whenever you guys are.
I've decided to join you for Embers in July too. One of my online friends has been reading a lot of Marai lately and telling me about it. I'll try to get her to join us for a comment or two if she has time.
Hey Steven, what sort of history did you read so much of? I've come to feel I should read some, and I'm beginning to feel the mood for it. I think I want to start with a history of Russia. Do you know a good one?
