Because of the format (letters to and fro, carefully, apparently casually but chronologically arranged) I found it rather difficult to connect. But now I'm suddenly in. It's turning out to be a good read.
I don't know what to make of it, but so far seven authors have been written about. What got me going is the discussion about State of Wonder (Ann Patchett) and Never Let Me Go (Kazuo Ishiguro). Well, I'm hooked.

I'd also like to add that this format is known as an epistolary novel. I also learned that I need an audit course in literature!
So far I've counted 16 authors having been mentioned, and I've read barely half of them. And again, I'd have liked to read all the books mentioned by Sybil, the correspondent.
