My Antonia - My Antonia

I too see the similarities in the writing of Archbishop and Antonia after starting the latter. Hadn't thought I'd like the former but got pulled in by the style and that is drawing me to My Antonia as well.

Etc. - Question of the Week #12: Unfinished Books

I just tried to read the new book "Sag Harbor" and couldn't finish. I couldn't find a hint of a plot, just the everyday events in a boy's summer in Sag Harbor.
I originally gave up on "War and Peace" but went back to it after I realized if I skimmed through some of the long-winded descriptions I could do it.
