I’ve been in one for weeks now. Weeks and weeks. I blame Diana Gabaldon. Echo in the Bone, a book I was very much looking forward to reading for review, became a chore. A drag. A book that I dreaded to pick up (and at 10,000 pages, picking it up is not all that easy…
“There’s a reason I write long books: I like digressions.” That’s how Diana Gabaldon started off her booksigning for An Echo in the Bone (9/23 at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch, CO). Since I’m a bit of a fan girl, this was not my first Gabaldon signing; in fact, it was my fourth. So…

I think we all know when we’re in the thrall of big time book crack. But, hey, since defining the blazingly obvious is something we like to do around here sometimes, here goes: Literary crack (the good kind) is a series of books that continues to suck you in no matter how pissed off you…
