Any Indian plight readers do any Jim Harrison books? I have Dalva and True North on my table right now but haven't started either.
The 10th Circle finally arrived though I'm a little leery about the darkness of it. I'll try to start it sometime soon.
Also ordered the Kingsolver book and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.

I loved Dalva, Lynn. I don't think I've read True North...but I know I've read something else from him, can't remember what...

I'll never catch up. I'm dozing off every night after a few pages of a book I read before and mostly forgot. At least it has magical horses in it!

In that case, Ann, you need to come on the Exracers Tarts Tour. We can picnic in the grounds of the ruined priory as night falls, and take it in turns reading The Thirteenth Tale out loud by the light of candles. We may catch sight of my Thatched Lodge ghost (whom I named 'Prior John'.) Or perhaps we'll hear the muted rustlings and giggling of Anne Boleyn as she teases Henry along in the grass under the Yew Tree. Poor soul - had she but known .. So that would be eleven women and one bathroom. But it's ok, Lynne is bringing a purple toilet, apparently.  |

You know, that reminds me of the time when I was a small child and we went to have dinner/visit with some doctor friends of my parents. While they were boring adults upstairs we kids played in the basement quite contentedly. Imagine my delight at having found (seriously) a can of purple paint and......um..........a piano.
Yep. True story. I'm so proud.
Do join us Ann. I think the ghost readings/sitings sound wonderful!

Okay Bara, I finished The Thirteenth Tale this morning. Shall we discuss it by PM, and save the PMs for a more public post when others are finished? I must discuss it now, when it's very fresh in my head.

No, I'm afraid of the ghosts. I think there's one that wants to haunt me. Shiver!

It was an interesting read, I carried around the house. But the further it went, the more ridiculously gothic it got. I don't like books that don't give any hint as to the "secret", and then at the end go "haha, got you, didn't catch that did you. I'm such a clever author!". I knew there was something funny going on, but the secret that was finally revealed was not hinted at enough, in my opinion. What do you think, Bara?

Yes - I enjoyed it - but didn't like it much - if that makes sense.
I saw the 'third' twin coming 50 miles away - didn't you? It seemed very ... linear. As I said before, can't work out when it was set - 40's? 50's?
Hmm - interesting read. Glad I read it. But won't rank in my top 10. Everyone else?
