Aug. 18th, 2007 02:51 pmIt rained last night, enough to break the crushing heat and humidity, at least until a couple of hours ago. It's back to Stickyville, I'm afeared.
( Blah, blah, blah, books! )
And something I finished just last night:
The Distance Between Us (Maggie O'Farrell): This is a love story, but at least it's got other interesting psychological elements, and also a male lead who struck me as quite believable, and I was glad how the relationship between the sisters turned out to be much more balanced than it seemed to be at first. I will praise this book by saying that even though most of it takes place in Scotland, the bits in Hong Kong really whet my appetite and made me even more intrigued about that place -- for some reason, they seemed much more vivid than the parts in Scotland, though that could just be a reflection of local geography, what with Scotland often being grey and misty and all, even when it was described as sunny. But that might just be my own preconceived notions. :)
