Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

I am about 2/3 the way through this book and loving it. Is anyone else reading...and if so, what are your thoughts?

I bought it before it was officially released, but have yet to start it.

Imagine my surprise when I came upon a character with the exact same name as my father!

I am always looking for a good new book! Maybe I will ask for it for hanukkah! Unless I get a gift certificate to a bookstore then maybe I will go and get it!


It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

It is big...close to 800 pages...some people say it is akin to an adult Harry Potter (which I disagree with). It is more fantasy crossed with Jane Austen.
