the case of jonathan strange


this book has been by my bedside for so long...months???

and i have only reached half of it...boy am i glad i am halfway through.

not that the story is not interesting, it is just so long!!! there are 1005 pages and i have reached 525. it makes me feel better. it is set in the 1800 about two magicians. the more i read about one of the magicians, the more resemblance i see between him and my boss. hahaha...this magician is not the good one ;) very kiasu and selfish in disseminating his knowledge to his apprentice but wants all the merit for the efforts done.

have started counting down because i want to start reading others books too. again, this book has been sought and might be turned into a movie soon...i guess if they can come up with a good enough script. how are they going to squeeze 1000 pages of plot into a 2-hour movie beats me.
well, at least when the movie is released, then i am ready for it.
go to www.jonathanstrange to know more. not promoting this book in anyway but only mere information for those interested to know more.
