And then poof: march, canal, the end. <br /><br />If it's genius, I'm not able to recognize it. Sigh.<br /><br />(As for the blog, I thought Sandra's complaint was a valid one, so I'm working on the solution.

Sometimes I wonder how many of the books out there can actually can stand the test of time. I can see that this book may have been popular during its day, but perhaps too rambling and repetitive for today.Agnijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252180663413868400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-77617492484526748862011-02-05T19:28:08.044-08:002011-02-05T19:28:08.044-08:00I love this review, your use of the watchmaker to ...I love this review, your use of the watchmaker to explain your feelings about this book was priceless.

They usually are and it hit me on the first or second page that I wouldn't like it so I stopped. I was actually shocked by my reaction as I loved every other Berger work I've read, 8 or 9 books, I think. I was so hoping it would redeem itself but now we know. Thanks for your thoughts.<br /><br />I went back to your Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-67011426240767029422011-02-05T10:23:46.655-08:002011-02-05T10:23:46.655-08:00My god, no wonder you're mixing metaphors.
