Today's reading of The Piano Lesson was a little odd. There was lots of whiskey drinking and singing in this part. It always kind of annoys me when I see song lyrics in a book with no way to know what the melody is. It may not be realsitic, but it is just a pet peeve of mine. We met Wining Boy who was apparently a traveling piano man, but grew to hate it. It would seem that he understands that he has grown out of style which I find interesting though.
On Berit's post: I agree that they are rather rude to eachother. It seems like none of them really like eachother or at least that Dokaer doesn't. And I like the connection to the other books we have read about how some characters are less important.
You are not the only one. I find songs in books to be horribly annoying. I understand Wining Boy's gradual displeasure with the piano. Once you do something for awhile you get bored with it.-on Blake's Blog
