I have to admit, sometimes I wonder what the point of all this reading is. Objectively, I know why it's all important. Really I do, but when slogging through a book and feeling like no progress is being made... well what else could I be doing with this time? This feeling passes, eventually.
The farther I get with this book, the more I wish Childermas was more of a main character. There's something enigmatic about the man. The longer I read, the more I dislike Norrell. The more I read... well the more antsy I get for the end. Clarke is using language deliberately to make the writing reminiscent of the gothic romances. She does a good job but it slows down the reading significantly.
