Title: Pleasure
Review: I've read nearly 200 books so far this year, and very few of them have actually given me pleasure. Many were routine/trite, some were compelling, I gues--I wanted to keep reading--but very few were that kind of full-body reading experience, where you are inside the story as if walking through a thrilling new forest while at the same time realizing you are enjoying yourself and nothing you could be doing at that moment would be more right than reading this particular book in this chair on this street this night.I can't stand literary pastiche because it seems dead before it's out of the gate--someone else's world, someone else's characters, without the creator's energy and life force moving them around.You'll have noticed by now that I've said nothing about the book itself, only about how I felt reading it, and how I as prejudiced against it before buying it. Well, look at how many stars I've given it, and really, what more do I have to say?Nick--write more books.
