Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin
2.0

I've decided to give up on this one. The writing is nice but the whole thing seems rather random and nonsensical. I really get the feeling that if I put the time in to finish it, I'll be rewarded with more of the same and no real idea about what the purpose was. In a way it reminds me of Pynchon's writing but I find his writing more interesting. A year ago I may have held out but I've had less time to listen to audio books the last couple months so I'm less willing to take risks.

I'd like to say that there's a chance that I'll get back to this book that many find so enrapturing but with so many other books to read it's very, very doubtful.
