I can recommend a few Russian writers who will put Flaubert to shame...

You know...I thank you...I am on page 45 or something...and it's...BLEH...so if you're in the middle and considering giving up...maybe I should give up before I get there and ask myself why did I waste so much time on it...

Well, the thing is...somebody at work virtually forced it on me with highest recommendations...I had no intention of reading it...everybody knows that Stephen King doesn't own cell phone and is quite paranoid about them...big deal...
