Of course, some good books, even when you know what they are about, it's the writing that vaults them into 'great' book status.<BR/><BR/>john - I haven't read Blindness. I liked how subtly dystopian Never Let Me Go was. I've been enjoying this genre and it is quite new to me<BR/><BR/>nyssaneala - I am looking forward to reading another of Ishiguro's book, probably Remains of the Day will be next.

I may include it in my RIP list. I liked that you didn't give much away. It's refreshing to read a book that you don't know anything about and have it be good and well-written.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-37195092957751192092007-08-23T12:38:00.000-04:002007-08-23T12:38:00.000-04:003m - I'd say it could be considered a little creep...3m - I'd say it could be considered a little creepy.
