"There was a point about half way through the book when, reading on my way somewhere on the A train, I almost started crying. Which is not rare or weird for me, but I almost started crying this time because I realized that, eventually, the book would be over."

-Jaime of Surplus on the new A.S. Byatt, THE CHILDREN'S BOOK. Hasn't happened to me -- yet.

I am now deeply, painfully jealous of this person. Plus that book is freaking beautiful.

I might get to review it -- if I can get hold of a copy, I will let you know first.
