Just to get it out of my system...

...and, more importantly, off of my shelves:
I started This Rough Magic on Sunday morning but could only handle so much of the book before I wanted to slap several of the characters.
The problem is, I really want to read the book until the end because Stewart's atmospheric writing is just that good and I really like the idea of tying this story into the story of The Tempest (Shakespeare).
So, I think I will finish this book this week - independent from Halloween Bingo - in the hope that this will cure me of any desire to read more of Stewart's work.
