This will really help keep me on target as I'm finding this book a slog... I'm struggling to keep focused and continue reading it! Does anyone like it yet? looking for guidance and inspiration to keep slogging!

Haven't started it yet Marney. But I did finish Swamplandia, and Train Dreams - the books that are on our list for July & August. I'm kinda avoiding it because it seems so big.
