I'm on page 196 of 572 of the Emshwiller book. Clearly I'm in this for the long haul. But as I don't fancy an uninterrupted diet of any author of such long duration, I'm moonlighting with Hilary Mantel's Beyond Black. Mantel's a very descriptive writer, but the description doesn't feel unnecessary or forced. So far, I'm enjoying the book. Although it could do with moving the plot along a bit. Or at all. So far it's all set up.

Yes, I know. No pleasing me.
