It's a "classic" about like knowing that the Romans used to eat so much they threw up and do many other disgusting, depraved things is "classical" knowledge!<BR/><BR/>When I finished my English degree, I didn't feel like reading anything, and didn't for a long time (except the things I had to read, again, for the training I was in....) I think the next fiction I read was Les Miserables, almost three years later.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I did read The Secret Garden during that time. Chose it because it was available in English at Feltrinelli's bookshop. They had a small English section, and that was the only thing that appealed to me.<BR/><BR/>Happy reading!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592157819188364751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718959.post-16580892833779476852009-02-18T18:01:00.000-06:002009-02-18T18:01:00.000-06:00Good for you, Lisa!I had tears of joy when I was f...Good for you, Lisa!<BR/><BR/>I had tears of joy when I was finally able to go to the library and pick out what I wanted. I'm sure the librarian thought I was crazy, but she was still nice to me. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Of course, then I reached the shelf and was completely overwhelmed. I realized it had been so long since I could pick what I wanted, I didn't know what kind of fiction I liked. But, hey, it's been good to spend the last year and half figuring it out.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03481691735626628019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718959.post-73762495066478789382009-02-16T19:35:00.000-06:002009-02-16T19:35:00.000-06:00I might have to do this too (you know, because I h...I might have to do this too (you know, because I have SO much time to read!!). I would eventually like to read several on this list.<BR/>I am kind of surprised how much you loved Possession. I read it, and didn't hate it, but didn't love it either. Maybe it's because I had to read it for a class so had to read it quickly, and so I should re-read.<BR/>Dr. Organ also got me hooked on Ian McEwan. He is going to be in Dallas in March - I would love to go see him, but don't think it will actually happen.McGee Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068988799898882974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718959.post-32935423634007160922009-02-16T11:53:00.000-06:002009-02-16T11:53:00.000-06:00"The Year of the Book"--Rub it in, rub it in!
