In reply to Omdg. @Omdg - I am enjoying it, but I think the nature of the Home Guard's violence is going to be challenging for me to get through.

I highly recommend The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. I just finished it, very enjoyable.

I don’t remember Cold Mountain being violent, but I read it a looooong time ago, so maybe my memory is wrong. I liked it, which means you probably won’t. 😉

I am curious to hear what you think of the language in cold mountain. I have not made it to the end of the book mostly because the language variation is fascinating to me – and so I focus in that and not on the story. I don’t know much about 19th to20th century language changes but I wonder how accurately this book captures is.

I hope the gorgeous view makes up for the banal chores undertaken in that room.
One of my favorite daydreams is to imagine how safe, reliable, and frequent public transport would liberate so many of us.
