I just finished Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, which I’ve meant to read for decades. Then I plunged right into Eliza Haywood’s Adventures of Eovaai, which is really interesting, but a little dense. May put that on pause and pluck something else from the pile today.

The Fellowship of the Ring. I am not generally into fantasy but finally decided to read the LOTR trilogy. This is not your run of the mill fantasy. Loving it!

“Jean Barois” by R.M. du Gard. Nobel Prize Literature 1937. Read in French….but available in English. This would make a great selection for a classic list!

I loved Middlemarch, but haven’t taken the plunge on any more Eliot. Not sure why, although I keep saying I’m going to read Daniel Deronda.

I’ve read a few of her other books, though not Daniel Deronda. If you enjoyed Middlemarch I’d say definitely check out some of her other stuff.

I finished reading 1984 a week back and I’m still overwhelmed by it. Thinking of starting an Oscar Wilde today. Any suggestions on what book to start with?

Although not a classic per se, I am finishing Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan. Everyone should read this book! Just excellent and I love his writing. Then I’m completing Little House in the Big Woods for the Little House Read-Along Bex and I are hosting this year and will post that review this weekend. Then I’ll read the 7th Maisie Dobbs installation and on to The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry after that!

I started the year with Dickens’ Great Expectations last year, and I thought it a good way to begin 2016 as well. This is my third reading and I still love it.

Evelina by Fanny Burney, I’m absolutely loving it and don’t want it to end! …though I did accidentally drop it in the bath. Oops.

Around the World in 72 Days by Nellie Bly. I now have a crush on her, she’s so awesome! A Victorian journalist who went around the world faster than Phileas Fogg by herself with just one handbag as baggage. I still can’t get over that last part, considering I’ve been known to get two bags for a long weekend!

I loathed that book entirely when I first read it at 16, then learnt more about it as a university student, then decided to write my honours thesis with a chapter focusing 0n it. It’s amazing how much Woolf crammed into one sentence, how each word has it’s place and hidden meaning. I respect her genius far more now than most writers I’ve come across!

She does – she tells you everything about a character their past, present state of mind in two brilliant paragraphs. Superb.
