I am several chapters into the second book of the Gormenghast trilogy.
Please give me one or more reasons to keep slogging.
The prose may be lush, but so is an impassable jungle, and I find myself longing for a machete. Will diligence be rewarded in the end, or would I be hooked by now if it were my cup of tea?

You could always watch the bbc miniseries...

(Great pic of you, by the way...)

Thanks; [livejournal.com profile] foxgrrl took that at Baycon a year ago (or was it two years ago now?).

The BBC was live action, right? Based on the first book and what I've read of the second, I can't see any way to do this justice except as animation, or the sort of CG/live blend used in the LotR movies.
