Has anyone read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell? I went to California recently and saw it in a souvenier shop. I thought it looked interesting. If anyone has read it, i would like your input on it.

No, I haven't read it. Second, to Bartiforums Adele. Third I live in Claifornia! WHOOP! Watch out for some crazed members. Some crazed shippers as well. Studies have shown though, that you will go crazy eventually. Many do escape this sad fate. Those including Ianna, and-. It's all right though. Most people do go crazy after being influenced by some people. -coughs Mwamba, Luciene coughs- Have some cookies.

Oh, c'mon. Post is worse than I am.

And Ianna is crazy for loving him, so ha! :P

I think I heard of it, is it good?

Oh yes, forgot to mention about the Strange book. I think I heard it was good, never got around to reading it though.

Ive read it, It is a really strange book which follows the theme of british magic but this is a world where hundreds of years ago this world, faerea and the country on the other side of hell was once ruled by a hugely powerful magician.
Since then the british have become lazy and have become theoretical magicians (people which study magic but cant actually use it).
From here Mr Norrel emerges, the worlds last practical magician and he and later his pupil jonathan strange set about the stud of magic.
It is a huge book that only begins to get really intresting after the first 400 hundred pages or so. Not for the faint hearted.
And the foot notes. Some of them stretch on for 4 pages or more.
But if you can make it through this book you will find it trully amazing :wub:
