I just finished The Chronicles of Narnia, it was excellent, ( http://tinyurl.com/y7c63d5y- ) and now I’ve begun the longest novel in the world…In Search of Lost Time, or if you prefer In Remembrance of Things Past.

Just finished reading Catch-22. It wasn’t on my classics list, but it’s certainly a classic! I am still reading Les Miserables; I started reading that in June. I’ll have to look back on my list to see which classics I’m *supposed* to be reading.

What did you think of Catch-22? I started reading it in high school and quit after a few pages… don’t think I was ready for it at the time, but I’ve always wanted to go back to it.

Reading The Chronicles of Narnia in publication order. First five done; now on The Magician’s Nephew and then The Last Battle. Very Good so far.

I did not finish a single classic this summer, but I have great expectations for this fall semester, starting with Sense and Sensibility. My blog here: https://vogliodio.wordpress.com/

Just finished a ‘Horrid Novel’ — one of the Gothics mentioned in Northanger Abbey. I’m not sure it’s precisely a classic, but it was neat! Now I’ve started Boris Godunov, by Pushkin.

I’m listening to The Island of Dr. Moreau, and I’m reading Radcliffe’s A Sicilian Romance. Both are great. I keep wondering what contemporary readers of Dr. Moreau would think of our ability today to grow ears on rats… 🙂

I read The Island of Dr. Moreau last year and it’s a trip I will never forget! As horrible as it was, it was one of my favorite reads of the year. Wells was definitely ahead of his time.

I think that’s partly what’s so horrifying about it – it feels even more possible now… 😱

I just finished Asimov’s Foundation, which sadly I found was showing its age a bit more than I’d expected. But now I’m reading Cop Hater, the first in Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct series, and it’s even better than I remembered from long ago when I first read it. My next more serious classic will be RL Stevenson’s The Master of Ballantrae, but it’ll be a few weeks before I get to it.

I’ve just finished ‘The Singing Sands’ by Josephine Tey, a very enjoyable classic mystery, and am half way through ‘My Love Must Wait: the Story of Matthew Flinders’ by Ernestine Hill (an Australian classic, 1942).

I don’t know if this is a classic, but my book club members were telling me about Lamb In his Bosom, written by Caoline Miller. She won the Pulitzer for it in 1934 (I think thats the year). I am only 50 pages in, but so far so good. It predates Gone With the Wind and takes a poor white Southerners perspective from the Appalachians.

I never heard of Lamb In his Bosom. I will check it out. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
