in the skin of a lion is my favorite book! how are you liking it?

[blue_quiet]

I'm liking it. So far, not as much as I loved The English Patient, but I'm only about a 1/3 into it, so that could very well change.

P.S. I see you are back on LJ :)

i think the first time i read _in the skin of a lion_ it took me a bit to get into it. it probably wasn't until having read it three times in a row that my love for it really blossomed. i love _the english patient_ too, though. ondaatje is my favorite. have been seriously considering doing grad school at the u of toronto because he teaches there. have you read _anil's ghost_? that's the first ondaatje i read, and i highly, highly reccommend it. after your already-lengthy list, of course.

and yes, back on the lj. it's about time, i think.
