Especially Fingersmith. The only problem is, I'm not sure if it's available in our country >> Philippines. I'm desperately searching for it and it's stressful enough already.

I LOVED The Woman in White, and I suspect I'll love this too.

It seems from the comments here that we are definitely not alone! I would lend a book to my best friend not long after I had finished it and as she was reading it she would be talking to me about particular scenes etc... and I would just have to nod along and pretend I remembered that particular part! Very frustrating.<br /><br />Hi Jackie - Thanks for the warning! I have heard that it is quite a different book from her others. But I am sure, as you say, I will still enjoy it.<br /><br />Hi Molly - it seems we are not alone! I hope you enjoy Fingersmith when you get to it.<br /><br />Hi Nadia - it sounds like there are heaps of us who forget details so that is comforting!<br /><br />Hi Joy - I would definitely encourage you to read at least one Waters book this year - a fantastic writer.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971901652392645980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-6551652278929368502009-05-19T07:34:00.000-07:002009-05-19T07:34:00.000-07:00I have one book by Waters on my TBR Shelves, but i...I have one book by Waters on my TBR Shelves, but it's not this one.

Now, based on your review, I think I need to read it this week.<br /><br />And thank you so much for sharing your propensity for forgetting book details.
