It was nice to read your review and to see what you thought of it.

In my younger years when I only read for pleasure, I craved that feeling of becoming immersed in long stories where I could live with the place and characters as if life was going by. But life sure does go by while you read a long book and the pressures of the blog, the reviews, and all the books I want to read impinge. I learned with this one that reading a long book, if it is good, is something like a vacation for me now. I will read more Helprin but not right now!Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-48962067485852161622016-05-19T12:58:46.233-07:002016-05-19T12:58:46.233-07:00I admit I dont often set out to read very long, lo...I admit I dont often set out to read very long, long novels -- but you are changing my opinion. I will put Helprin on my TBR list promptly. Have you read any of his other books? Like Soldier of the Great War? That one is only 804 pgs. :-) thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-19030193441999701632016-05-19T11:39:31.862-07:002016-05-19T11:39:31.862-07:00It was Jessica!
