Progress: 2 down, 38 to go (list) Which: Wonderstruck, Brian Selznick When I first flipped through Wonderstruck at the store, the combination of text and full-bleed drawings almost had me plunked down in the aisle to read. Somehow I did the grown-up thing, bought it, and brought it home. Wonderstruck’s a great lesson in pacing: even when you spot the next reveal, Selznick’s in no hurry to get you there, but he never drags his feet. It’s a hefty book at 600+ pages, but somehow it reads fast without rushing you along.
