Currently Reading: Widdershins by Charles de Lint

Finally … a book worth reading.

I’m currently meandering through a novel that’s like breathing in clean air in the middle of a field while lying on your back in the grass and staring up at a blue sky with wispy clouds floating by. Sheer pleasure after the last few books I’ve read – and been disappointed by.

Charles de Lint, with his 2007 release called Widdershins, is the book I needed right now. Hits the spot and reminds of how I felt when I picked up my first de Lint book at a second-hand bookstore in Haifa (Israel) while traveling … more years ago than I care to remember!

Am about 150 pages into it so far. Will let you know how it turns out when I’m done.
