Boy, is that book popular!!! Personally, it's not my kind of book, and I don't really understand it's popularity, but mine not to reason why. It is interesting, and the style is unique. Those of you who are eagerly awaiting the book, is it because you've read his earlier books and are a fan, or because of what you have read about this book? I'm just curious. The reason I'm writing, though, is to tell you that I'm almost 50 per cent done, but there will be a pause for a few days. Unfortunately, because so many people here in Los Angeles want the book, I am unable to renew it. I have signed up for it again in 3 places (foreseeing this, I'd signed up in one place 3 weeks ago, and I'm third on the waiting list there.) It's interesting to me the geographical difference in Mitchell fandom. Here in L.A. city, I'm number 58 on the waiting list now for 36 copies. In San Diego County, I'm third, now, for, if I remember correctly, 4 copies. But in the city of San Diego, although there are many copies that are out and have waiting lists, two branches have it available, and I've requested one. I should have it by the weekend, hopefully Friday, and will be able to keep it for 3 weeks, but which time I should have finished with the book. After Tuesday I have complete days to work on it.
