A good book.
I have mentioned to several that the book I'm reading is exceptionally good in the oddest way. It reads in a dry, boring way that reminds me of a history textbook. But the author manages to add a morbid yet colorful humor that makes it a delightful read.
Here is an excerpt that describes a very small part of the house that a rather unimportant character lives in.
"Once in a fit of industriousness some unknown person in the house had picked all the apples off the tree and placed them on all the window sills. Where they had lain for several years now, becoming first old apples, then swollen corpses of apples, and finally mere ghosts of apples."
-Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
