51. Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin.
Wonderful and charming, but difficult initially due to its weight. This can be rememedied by carefully breaking the paperback binding at the intervals that devide the book into four parts. then take an exacto knife to this creases to make four carriable books. if desired cardstock covers (cut to fit) maybe affixed with archival glue (sometimes called bookbinding glue). Even if you do not affix covers it is wise to glue the cut edges to keep the folios cut across from falling out.
It was nice to read a book that was enriched by use of a very good dictionary, but not incomprehensible without one.
In the second half of the book I suspected a revelation that never came, but I think this may have been intentional to one degree or another to maintain a greater sense of wonder.
In other news the cabled cardigan of some renown has begun. Its blue, sort of the blue of blueberries where ever they aren't black.
