I’m on page 385 and I just hit the halfway mark. While this book is biblically large and the plot isn’t what I’d call fast-paced, I am thoroughly enjoying my reading experience. Donna Tartt’s way with words is so captivating, I hardly realize the lack of plot points in some sections because I’m so drawn in.

I’m getting through it; that’s all i have to say. I will finish this book in 2025 if it kills me.

Continuation from my last post: You can’t pick up this book and be in it for the plot, otherwise you’ll burn out. When you pick up this book, you have to be in it for the wordsmithing, the prose, and the characters. I’m usually too invested in a plot to gaf about many of the other elements when I’m reading, but this book is truly so masterfully composed that I can’t help but admire the talent as I read.
