Began reading Washington Square by Henry James yesterday. He's an author I've never quite had the guts to tackle, like Thomas Mann or William Faulkner. I'm not really sure why I was intimidated before, as this book is very readable, but Sweet Baby Jesus he does write in LONG sentences. And apparently his later work can be tougher going.
But for now I'm appreciating this book for the pure artistic nature of his prose.
