Author Jamaica Kincaid was born in Antigua, so I picked up this book to read for kiwiinengland's 2015 Around the World Reading Challenge. This is my 6th/last book for North America / Central America / the Caribbean, so I was determined to finish it..but that's the only reason I didn't quit.

The text is about 80 pages, but it felt longer to me. The whole thing felt like a stream-of-consciousness report of someone else's dreams. Some interesting imagery, definitely, but I'm just not very good with the more "literary" end of things; I'd rather have story.

Left on the fence at the edge of the parking lot for Secretariat's 2015 Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Challenge (week 43: fall colors), DragonGoddess's Tick Tock Challenge, and zbird's Scrabble challenge.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Won't you please make a journal entry to let the book's previous readers know that it's safely in your hands? How did you find it? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books...or a little like geocaching - you can follow the book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)
