Still choosing books (The Starless Sea)
What do we think about Erin Morgenstern's The Starless Sea as the novel for a first-year lit course?
A friend recommended it. I've just started reading -- well, I'm up to about page 50 -- and feel cautiously optimistic.
It has the advantage of taking up the idea of games and of being a game (it would appear so, anyway), which is one of my themes or lenses or whatever. It has the disadvantage of being alarmingly long, but I could work with that.
I really want there to be a magic answer to this problem of the Novel that just softly descends on me like, well, you know, starlight. Snow.
