Thurs. Jan 9, 2014......Well, I notice I didn't make a note of when I started this book. I believe it was about a week ago (Thur Jan 3, or possibly Wed Jan 2.) I am about 1/2 way through it and I must say, it really has not engaged me yet. I am reading it because it was one of the picks for "Canada Reads 2014," but I have to say that the journey this year has not been a memorable one. This book is better than "Coackroach" but not as good as "Annabel" for me, but then "Annabel" wasn't too much of a great ride either. Hoping to have more luck with "Year of the Flood," or maybe "Orenda." Anyway, I am hoping to connect more with this book in the second half!.....Sunday Jan 12, well, on page 275 of 308, and it still is not hitting it off with me. I would have to say that I find it almost a little boring. To me, nothing has really HAPPENED yet. Oh well, maybe I can force myself to finish it tonight, so that I can move on! (p.s., for all you guys out there that are sick of reading my comments with the tracking of my pages, and my personal notes to myself, I have good news. I have just discovered the "Add More" button, under the "Comment" button, and it has a place to write "personal" notes! Yipee!).......Jan 13, just finished this book. Zipppppp, it went right over my head. I didn't get it at all. Too highbrow for me? I don't know, but if anyone would like to explain it to me, I would appreciate that. Otherwise, it was a journey that went in a circle and all I got was a little exercise, but very little stimulation. I'm not batting too well with the "Canada Reads" picks this year.
