I've hit a wall. I'm just over halfway - I should be jumping for joy. I'm not. I'm getting reading fatigue. I don't wanna read anymore. I'm sick to death of the sight of my book pile. The Super Nintendo is calling my name. I need to beat the tar out of Columns on the Genesis. I want to do some sewing, hit a few garage sales, drink beer in the sun WITHOUT A BOOK IN MY LAP. I swear to god I'm getting carpal tunnel and tennis elbow from holding books up. I'm forcing myself to pick up books at the moment. I've had to re-read pages of this book frequently because i'm off in some dream land and have no idea what happened.
Or maybe it's just because this book was terrible. Maybe I'm biased; I really hate Frank Lloyd Wright. He's a liar, a slut and a thief. He took everything he ever did from Louis Sullivan, his mentor. Plus, his shit is overrated. This is a tale of a long running affair between the Wright and Mamah Cheney, both of whom are married. Maybe I just really can't stand to read about cheats. I'm really hoping this book is why I've been in a reading funk.
One out of Four Stars.
