Yep, it's long. I think it could have been edited down by at least 100 pages. But, that's just my personal opinion. I'm glad I read it, in spite of that.

Ye...I thought Fiona's expression was hilarious. Yeah, I didn't know The Oatmeal had such a high gross factor. I enjoyed the non-gross comics in that book and did a lot of laughing, so it served the purpose - it really cheered me up. I agree with you on the weird shape of the people. <br /><br />I don't know what my favorite by Connie Willis is! I've liked everything I've read by her, though. Bellwether is outdated but delightful. And, I loved all of the time travel books I've read (3 of them, I think). I need to read the WWII books. I've got Blackout but I don't know where I put it! Ugh. I don't have a copy of All Clear. I may just buy the two in paperback and get rid of the HB copy of Blackout when I find it. I prefer paperback, anyway, and I really want to read them both.

I get what you mean about the gross factor of Oatmeal. I can't stand that people in those drawings look like shapeless blobs, actually. My favorite Connie Willis so far has been Doomsday Book, although admittedly I haven't read enough of her. I didn't get To Say Nothing of the Dog at all, for instance.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.com
