    i haven't read sarah waters. plan to start with fingersmith instead of the little stranger, probably. although feeling ko din i'll like the little stranger. have you read rebecca? ang hirap naman kasi sa bookmooch, the books i want to mooch never come up. so frustrating.

    mi! how're you liking the byatt that you're reading now? i liked possession and was excited to read the children's book when it came out, but a lot of others found it really tedious. am planning to read hilary mantel's wolf hall instead. same bulk, but apparently better, and it won the booker.
