I'm almost done with Crime and Punishment and was thinking about Little Friend next, but I might just skip on to Goldfinch and see what that's about.

Maybe I should just let Donna Tartt remain pristine in my mind and read The Sleepwalkers instead

Like I said before, I didn't care for Goldfinch. And I'm onlyl 4% into Secret History. So I don't have an opinion of that book yet. But based on Goldfinch alone, I don't see what the big deal is. So, maybe if you love SH that much, moving on is the move.

Good like the quality of the book? Or good as in progress advanced by me, the reader?

So I'm about a quarter of the way through A Secret History. How the fuck does someone write such a readable book? It's insane. It just... flows.

I just received my copy of this today via Amazon. It’s included in an omnibus of the Underworld USA series. I got all the books in this “universe.” It’s pretty daunting but I’m committed.
