Entry: "Shadow of the Wind"

Shadow of the Wind is great so far. Very well written, lots of big juicy words, but low-key and relaxing. More than anything else, (In the beginning at least... read the first fourteen-ish chapters last night...) It's the sad and humerous story of a young boy trying to figure out himself and the world in post-war Barcelona. It doesn't take itself too seriously and has no trouble carrying itself along... doesn't drag, isn't frantic. Sympathetic characters, engaging story. So far, just a good, solid, enjoyable book.

It's nice to know it'll be waiting for me after this last day of work in my week. Yesterday was full of stress and aggravation. Today I am ready for the weekend.
