#109 - Gilead

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

There were a few delightful turns of phrase, but in the end, it was no Peace Like a River. Towards the beginning I was struck by a description of the meaning of baptism and thought "yes! yes!" But then I realized that I was reading out of a sense of obligation and a need to finish the book. Oh well.

I started skimming parts, but overall I really liked it. It was worth some tedius for the brililant turns of phrases.
