something else I can't quite put my finger on.  Beautifully written, 
a plethora of fictional footnotes, and a handy sewn-in bookmark.

Welcome to the list Dungrollin! I have read Jonathan Strange and Mr. 
Norrell and just loved it. Very unique book and I hope she writes 
more! Right now I am reading Tad Williams 'Shadowmarch' which seems 
to be pretty good. Someone gave me a gift certificate to Barnes and 
Noble and I might slide by there tomorrow to browse for some more 
reading....possibly 'Shadowmancer'.....
