So I've been reading The Master by Colm Toibin. It's quite good! I really like the writing style; it's oddly formal, but at the same time strangely addicting. It's technically pop-fiction, but there are some passages that are really quite beautiful.
Here's a passage I enjoyed:
"He loved walking up and down the room, beginning a new sentence, letting it snake ahead, stopping it for a moment, adding a phrase, a brief pause, and then allowing the sentence to gallop to an elegant and fitting conclusion. He felt now that all of his working life had been leading up to this loud freedom, and after a few months he knew that he would not be able to return to pen and paper, to unmechanical solitude." ~pg 120
I'm renting The Master from Mr. Hill's library. If you're interested in reading the book, that's where to find it! (Once I'm done, of course.) :D
