Reading progress update: I've read 220 out of 256 pages.

The Sheltering Sky - Paul Bowles, Michael Hofmann

I have about 35 pages left to read. But given the latest plot development, a DNF is still not out of the question.

 

I certainly understand why some people on GR seem have shelved this book under "dick-lit".

 

I need something really, really good after this one.
