The books have been treating me the exact same way. They’re all, “I am interesting and enjoyable, but I will not blow you out of the water. Oh no I will not. Instead, I will leave you wondering what’s wrong with you that you didn’t love me to itty bitty bits.” Stupid books. I mean, i’m a picky girl to begin with, but I feel like books used to be so much better than they are now.

Maybe I’m getting old.

In reply to Frances. Hm, yeah, maybe I missed out by not being a fan of Sherlock. I'm ashamed to say I've only ever read Hound of the Baskervilles.

In reply to Aarti. *sigh* You know that I'm not going to read that, Aarti. Because I think it's going to be boring and I'm going to hate it.

In reply to Emily. *cracks up* The Know-It-All would be an excellent antidote for Twilight, I can well imagine. I read a really good book late last week, actually, but it has not altogether busted my slump. Only sort of.

In reply to celawerd. Yeah, I know it's me, not the books. I wish I'd get out of this depressing book-not-enjoying phase again, because books are awesome.

In reply to Tracy. I can't take a break from reading! I love reading. I have to read all the time or else I get a headache.

In reply to Anastasia. I don't know what that is but I normally do not love short stories and what if I read it and I don't like it and then you never recommend me another book again? What about that? Eek.

In reply to Aarti. Did you read Joy in the Morning, by the same author? Liked that even better.

Agree that this is an imperfect book but enjoyed it all the same for what it had to say about Sherlock love specifically. That possibility, that comfort that everything can be deciphered and dealt with if one is only smart enough. The contemporary story line did leave something to be desired in parts but found humor in the gentle mockery of Sherlockians.

As someone who HAS read The Night Circus and felt none of the massive love that everyone else seems to feel about it, I totes understand the ennui. You know the last awesome book I read? SUPER DUPER awesome? Wait for it, you won’t like what I have to say…
