The Discerning Palate

[vwl]

I highly recommend The Discerning Palate by Noel Blue as well as his earlier serial novel The Groupie.  The writing is excellent, the characters interesting and the plot well done. My only drawback is that Noel Blue is often slow to update.  The Discerning Palate is finished through Chapter 8, so there is a lot to read.

Here it is:

I'd appreciate it if you also find this story worth reading and put a note in this forum.

Excellent story, but I think 'often slow to update' is a delicious understatement. 8 chapters over 12 years, with most chapters ending in some sort of cliffhanger statement/situation? Up to five years between chapters, and a maximum of two chapters a year (usually one or zero). This is the sort of story that shouldn't be read serially. Completed, I could read it again and again because it's excellent, but I couldn't handle waiting for the next chapter to come out.

I agree with you, Graeme. I noticed that posting "schedule" and laughed.

I don't that the attention span to handle that!
