Reading a hor...Oh you are so nice to your readers! Reading a horrific book called "The BookLover" at the moment - I should have guessed from the double-authorship that it was unlikely to be a classic. The main character has a somewhat similar approach to books as I do - but unfortunately couples this with extreme pretension... ugh.<br /><br />Meanwhile, top read for me recently has been Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South - fantastic insight into working conditions in England during the Industrial Revolution, a strong empathetic female character, and a credible love story. Really enjoyed it. Also read Pride and Prejudice again, having just rewatched the dreamy BBC adaptation with Colin Firth. Lovely.<br /><br />Hope you have perked up,<br /><br />Irene xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
