Other British Literature: Has anyone out there read Ghormenghast?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi!  And welcome to our little club! <BG> Yes, you'll find that most of us had similar experiences with *inhaling/devouring* these books in the same manner as you did.  You are definitely not alone.  We understand.

As for Gormenghast, my husband and I own the trilogy in one mammoth book.  I'm enjoying it, but it's awfully preponderous and slow-going.  Mervyn Peake, the author, was *extremely* descriptive and will use an entire chapter describing a room that a scene will take place in before the actual chapter containing the scene!  I would have liked to have seen the mini-series on PBS, but my silly area won't show it for some strange reason.

Again, welcome to you and all of our new friends.
