I am reading "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell." I am at page 576. For about a hundred somewhat-slow pages I was wondering if I should keep reading, but then the plot got interesting again.
I've just had a moment of revelation about author Susanna Clark's ironic British examination of class and identity. I love books.

I read that book a while back and had kind of the same reaction. Some parts were pretty slow/uninteresting, other parts were quite engrossing in comparison. I ended up liking it overall, but I think it would have been better as a series of books, so that all of the different parts and themes could have been fully explored without tiring the reader.
