I started reading it in January, and after the first chapter I hated it and said as much on Twitter. You tweeted me saying it was awesome, I made an extra big effort with it, and quickly fell into it. One of my favouite books now as well :)ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-23415719755171224252012-09-06T15:11:41.447-04:002012-09-06T15:11:41.447-04:00Hmmmm whats on my TBR this fall?

(Never did get around to reading LOTR). I know what you mean about The House of Mirth -- I started rereading Ethan Frome at work the other day, ostensibly because it's a potential choice for our book group -- which I get to choose -- but really because it's just wonderfully written.<br /><br />I really loved Lady Audley's Secret. It's a fun, fast read. But I've never read Les Miserables! It's so huge, it frightens me.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-49404530082412300792012-09-05T22:13:44.320-04:002012-09-05T22:13:44.320-04:00I'm trying to get The Hobbit reread before the...I'm trying to get <em>The Hobbit</em> reread before the movie too--so far I'm about three chapters in. I've been saving <em>The Woman in White</em> for RIP this year, but <em>Moonstone</em> would be a good choice too. All this talk of Harry Potter is proving very tempting, though....<br /><br />Enjoy!amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-70518206684389470302012-09-05T20:04:27.729-04:002012-09-05T20:04:27.729-04:00I, also, really would love to read Les Mis before ...I, also, really would love to read Les Mis before the movie version comes out (which I hope is better than the last movie version), but it's a daunting read so I'll have to play that by ear. I hope you can! And a The Hobbit reread before December is a must. :) Great list! I enjoyed Lady Audley's Secret, The House of Mirth, and Mythology.

I actually think it's slightly better storywise than The Woman in White, but the characters are slightly less engaging (than MARIAN, but, you know, who isn't?!)

I just finished my re-read of HP and the Philosopher's Stone. I love reading Harry Potter (esp. the earlier ones) in between more "serious" books. Someone on Twitter mentioned yesterday that The Hobbit was going to be released in three parts just like Lord of the Rings. I'm sure it was a joke, it just reminded me of how much I disliked reading The Hobbit. Way too many dwarf names!
