Location: scotland		Recently finished A Storm of Wings by M John Harrison. I consider this the most challenging book I have ever read. Very dense and dreamlike, nowhere close to a pageturner and definitely not for most people. I struggled mightily throughout and did some research on the web to discover that others had the same opinions. Some people suggested that this was a book to be read slowly so everything could go in and be absorbed. To me this sounds natural as I am such a slow reader but this book just for me seemed to cut me no slack. In a way this is one of the joys of reading to push myself and see what the outcome is. At the moment I am just really pooped as prior to this I had read China Mieville's Kraken which is itself a difficult read. So for me it is some lighter fare now and back to a favourite of mine Dean Koontz.
