I bet it took forever to find the difference! But I bet by the time you did you really knew the book well. I'm glad you brought it up. I'm definitely going to have to go check it out, even if I only read about it online somewhere.<br><br>- Emily @ Reading While FemaleEmilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07389249065514335671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008954639175647714.post-75663149161605783202010-11-13T11:57:47.680-05:002010-11-13T11:57:47.680-05:00Parrish: that's why I love reading your blog. ...Parrish: that's why I love reading your blog.

I was so tempted to cheat on Dictionary of the Khazars ... so tempted I had to physically restrain myself from turning on the computer. Would I do that again?

I'm going to try it your way. <br><br>This book reminds me of 'Only Revolutions' by Mark Danielewski. It's a similar concept. The book is about two lovers Hailey and Sam. Their story is told simultaneously in same book but you have to flip the book upside-down to read the other version. It's wonderful when you get to the middle, because it's like their stories finally converge and then move off in the opposite direction.<br><br>Very difficult to read, but so rewarding.mywordlyobsessionshttp://mywordlyobsessions.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008954639175647714.post-5488493456557206882010-11-11T18:23:56.216-05:002010-11-11T18:23:56.216-05:00That's seriously a shame!
