Had to return it to the library before finishing, so bought myself a copy shortly afterwards... it finally came out of storage last month when we moved into the house. It's time to pick it up again!

In fact I'm having that experience now having just finished The Great Gatsby. Its true, superior books take time to digest.Kathy's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967595794483824444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-55988887595626232302020-12-06T21:37:30.522-07:002020-12-06T21:37:30.522-07:00I have heard a lot about this book.
