i'm a very very complex person

Finished -Malafrena-. I don't recommend it. I had to force my way through, and it's such a far cry from Ursula K. LeGuin's best writing. It's as though someone else wrote this book for her. It's strange, however, because I remember really liking -Orsinian Tales-, her book of short stories that is set in the same fictional country and deals with some of the same stuff as this book. I'll have to go back and read the stories and figure out why I liked them and didn't like -Malafrena-.

And now I've started -Ever After- by Graham Swift. I'm in the process of deciding that I really really like Swift. I loved -Waterland-, and I'm really enjoying this book as well. I love the way he has of being able to tie so much in with his stories and yet destroying the plot. I just really like the way he writes...
