I have been having trouble getting through The Horse and his Boy by C.S. Lewis. This Chronicles of Narnia book seems to have no relevance to any other book in the series, and I am finding it a bore to get through. But I want to get through all of the Narnia books, so I am suffering through it. I'm about 60 pages into The Savage Detectives; it's moving along - some very funny passages (detailed anguish of a sex and literature mad adolescent wandering Mexico City "in the grips of my virginity", suffering from "fellatio interupta", etc.).
