In Istanbul, of all places. But anyway... not to offend you or anything, but it really isn't a very good book. I'm almost inclined to say that the chick-lit inspired by it that I read a year or two back was about as good as the original.
But then we all have our guilty pleasures, of course.

It's October. Only three months left this year. What are your reading plans?

By "festive" I take it you mean Halloween-related?

Ah, so you're looking further ahead than October? I should have realised you meant Bonfire Night... *NM*

That's a bit how I'm feeling these days. I read, but I don't remember anything. *NM*

The final book is among the better ones, albeit completely unrelated to the rest of the series. *NM*

Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina.

It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time.

SMOOTH READ? That book is the definition of a choppy, disjointed piece of shit.

Huh, did I not reply to the main thread? Guess I'll have to do it rather belatedly then.
