I'm really fond of Australian literature, so far. Miles Franklin left her estate to fund a literary award and I've been reading up on some of the winners. I really should have said "yes" to tagging along with my husband on a business trip to Australia in November, but I didn't want to go without William so I declined. Maybe another year!<BR/><BR/>Kailana,<BR/><BR/>The Once and Future King is a slow read and I didn't realize how many pages it had till I flipped through (it's a whopper) but I'm enjoying it, so far - just at a rather plodding rate. There are an awful lot of words I don't know, things that have to do with hawking or items in the stable, etc., which aren't even in my dictionary. Maybe the language frustrated you? I'm trying to just figure things out in their context and keep moving, although I do occasionally stop to look something up - just in case! <BR/><BR/>It's got some very funny moments, so I think I'm going to really like it. Beautiful prose is what I love the most but a book that makes me smile is usually going to end up a favorite!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1160400847698137322006-10-09T08:34:00.000-05:002006-10-09T08:34:00.000-05:00hm, looks kind of interesting!You will have to tel...hm, looks kind of interesting!<BR/><BR/>You will have to tell me what you think of Once and Future King.
