I need some time to absorb what I've just read. I spent my readathon reading All the Pretty Horses, which I loved.<br /><br />I never knew that Picnic at Hanging Rock was a book. I'd be very interested to read it. I saw the very atmospheric film version a long time ago.bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095179960585908463.post-19654644220060442942013-01-08T07:03:33.468+13:002013-01-08T07:03:33.468+13:00Thank you, Cassandra - I hope you will visit often...Thank you, Cassandra - I hope you will visit often.

I love all of those books.<br />I think I would have had problems too with going straight to another book after finishing the first one, but fortunately my first book was Faust which couldn't be much spoilt.

I agree that it's difficult to move straight from one book to the next, so this time I decided just to concentrate on one longer book.
