Maybe it was of a time and age. I also loved Robbins' Still Life with Woodpecker but picked it up again 10 years or more after I first read it and was completely bored. People have insisted I read Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, saying that I'd love it - but I didn't get very far. Same thing with Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, even though I tried and tried. Books have their moment in an individual life and it's hard to know when exactly that moment comes.
