The Busy Reader has been reading, although I haven’t had time to write about it. It's not very often that I don't finish a book but I couldn't get through this one. I went through a flyer from Costco and one of the books listed as a good read was Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel (2009: Henry Holt and Company). It is a story set in the heart of England during the reign of Henry VIII. The book is written in six parts and after I read half way through Part II, I put it down. Written in present tense, it sounds very English / Shakespearean and it was just too much for me. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.
