Finding the Quidity

I really wanted to not like Out Stealing Horses. It was far too popular and composed in minimalist observations. That said, reviews likened it to the Nick Adams stories, which I happen to love (Sorry Dr. Kennedy, I still have your copy) and it was Scandinavian, which has become a region of esteem for my slippery tastes over the last year. The result has already been noted here, I was engrossed immediately and practically swallowed it whole.

The Lazarus Project by Aleksandr Hemon is proving eerily similar.

My thoughts on Hilary Mantel need time for refinement. I picked up The Children's Book by Byatt from the library.
