Now I’m on Possession by AS Byatt (another 90s-00s author I haven’t read), about a relationship between two academics today as they delve into a relationship between two poets in the Victorian era. My overwhelming, albeit somewhat embarrassing, first impression is that this book may be [i]too hard for me[/i]. Call me a DCUM elitist, but I don’t usually worry about books being challenging to comprehend (perhaps I’ve rotted my brain on book 2 & 3 of the Fourth Wing series*, which I was also listening to throughout the month?). But I have already had to look up several words to even make it through a passage. So a humbling read. A good one? Remains to be seen.

*I am a sci-fi/fantasy fan and would defend many books in the genre to the death... but maybe not these two lol.. [/quote]

It’s worth it— it’s a magnificent work.[/quote]

OP the book was too hard for me too.  And I consider myself a pretty good reader.  I couldn't force myself to read all the extra embedded materials... the letters, the stories etc.  I know this is supposed to be an incredible book but it just didn't pull me in.[/quote]
