I’m slogging through the novel The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, which caused a bit of a splash in the history blogosphere (and the publishing world) a couple of years ago. I’m up to page 176 and I’m really bored with all of the obvious vampire stuff, and the pace is a slow crawl (a bit like me on the final leg of today’s bike ride when I was on my own).
Is it worth sticking with for the next 500-something pages? Answers in the comments please!
This was fruits of a visit to Camden Oxfam, where I also picked up Iain Pears The Dream of Scipio, which I did enjoy. Review tomorrow probably when I have a bit more energy…
UPDATE: I’ve read another 50 pages and I’m still bored, so it has gone into the “return to charity shop” pile. Sorry air!
