I may have finally beaten this book!
I am now—on my fourth attempt—farther than I have ever been in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. 70% of the way trhough, 30% to go! Considering that I never made it past 40% or so in the three previous attempts, I think that's pretty good! I may defeat this book yet!
Note that I finally gave up and bought the ebook version - I think part of my problem in reading before was that it was so damn inconvenient to try to read that enormous doorstop of a book. I had to prop it on a pillow in my lap.
And on a completely different note, when watching my semi-nocturnal cats sleep during the day, I am occasionally seized with the question: when they try to sleep at night, do they ever have the thought "It's too dark to sleep!"
