The Day of Creation (J. G. Ballard)

I did not finish this book, not necessarily because I didn't think it was worth finishing, but just because I lost interest. The idea of a third Nile spontaneously springing forth from the desert was very intriguing to me, but it just lost me for some reason. Maybe it was the narrator's growing admiration for his pre-pubescent female companion that turned me off, and made me lose my desire to find out what would happen when they travelled to the source of the river to cut off its flow. It was hard to stay with it, but maybe eventually I'll pick it back up and finish it.
