Overall my experiment was a fail. Which I think was a reflection of a poorly design parameters. I may try again later in the year, but for now I'll draw a line under this first attempt at expanding my reading comfort zone.
Bah!!
At the moment 'She' is devolving into a turgid mess and I've noticed that there is a strong "funny how he never married" aspect to two of the main characters. I might just end up scanning the remainder of the book for the good parts. My penultimate warning sign arrived in the form of the baddy reciting poetry for 2 pages. To my mind its a mistake for authors to insert poetry as a dramatic device. Tolkien was an an epic fail with all the tiresome verse that populates his works and I'll be buggered if I'll indulge Mr Haggard either.

In other news we are in the final strecth of bub baking. My beloved is off work from tomorrow with an eye to getting the house ready for Ladybird.
