Another good one is Andrea Barrett's <I>The Voyage of the Narwhal</I>.

I thought about buying it a time or two, but since it wasn't quite the thing that I normally read, I stopped myself.<BR/><BR/>Oh, the partial reads. I need to make that another category in my "theme reading" post. And the "dip intos but never read in their entirety" crowd.<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy all your weeks with David Copperfield, MFS. We're glad you convinced us to take it down off the shelf and give it another try (I think my son got it when he was 12 and only managed two pages then).SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-55769214735875015312007-03-05T21:37:00.000-05:002007-03-05T21:37:00.000-05:00The Book of Lost Things was in the "library of boo...The Book of Lost Things was in the "library of books" Atria sent. Now I know it's a keeper. (*smile*) I'll get to it... sooner or later. Thanks for the recommendation.<BR/><BR/>I'm knee-deep in David Copperfield and Gombrich's History of Art. Then there are all of the partials (i.e., partly read friends with bookmarks, index cards, and Post It tabs poking out of them).

And yes, if you enjoy the Hornblowers or the Aubrey/Maturin series, or any seafaring book at all, then The Terror should be just the ticket.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-69128336005944390282007-03-05T18:26:00.000-05:002007-03-05T18:26:00.000-05:00I rarely read this sort of book--fairy tale/fantas...I rarely read this sort of book--fairy tale/fantasy-ish books, but this one sounds good.
