Which often makes me see poetry in unexpected places during the day (like in the Networks book).Dorotheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071668426716077347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405343172956271994.post-48383218201224940502012-08-21T02:28:26.103+02:002012-08-21T02:28:26.103+02:00I don't read a lot of poetry, but when I do it...I don't read a lot of poetry, but when I do its always enjoyable :)<br /><br />Have a great reading week :) <a href="http://brunettelibrarian.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> The Brunette Librarian's Blog </a>The Brunette Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274190099219658110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405343172956271994.post-55682342980052507382012-08-20T22:51:19.369+02:002012-08-20T22:51:19.369+02:00hi Jim, thanks for your comment.

It’s 550 pages long and, as I am not a lover of long fiction, I am struggling. I can’t seem to take my editor’s hat off. I just a read four pages that I would have reduced to the simple sentence: “He nearly missed her.” It also has a large cast and I’m constantly having to go to my notes to see who’s related to who. <br /><br />The other book I’ve just started is Dick Jones’s poetry collection <i>Ancient Lights</i>. Been a follower of Dick’s blog since November 2007 and so there’s not much here I’ve not encountered before in one draft or another but nice to have an actual book to hold. Can’t really sit and read poetry from cover to cover. So a bit here, a bit there.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405343172956271994.post-13635621665010317002012-08-20T14:02:11.046+02:002012-08-20T14:02:11.046+02:00Enjoy your books.Enjoy your books.RAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102249990885174107noreply@blogger.com
