I finally got into Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell today, by taking it to work and leaving Harry at home. I didn't get that far into it, since I finished one book and started another, too, but got far enough in (about 90 pages) that I think it'll stop putting me to sleep, which is what the first 15 pages did. It's interesting to be reading two very different books about magic in Britain at the same time. JS&MN is quite a bit more dry than I was expecting, though, and the footnotes, while interesting, are distracting. Of course, when one is trying to read and direct three trillion freshmen at the same time, I expect almost anything would be difficult to focus on.
