I just finished Sun, Moon, and Stars and my fears have been confirmed. It is a great book. Damn Damn Damn. I guess I'll have to put it on my Great Book List. Sigh. On the plus side, it means that I can kick David Copperfield (or as I called it in my Victorian Lit course, "David Cop-a-feel") off the list. I've been wanting to do that for awhile, ever since I realized it was the same thing as Great Expectations and Hard Times, and every other book Dickens wrote. That is all.
