I finally pulled my full collection of Sherlock Holmes off the shelf. After that Malazan is next. Tashmere Send a noteboard - 02/05/2010 05:43:12 PM
Mr Doyle does know how to write. I am enjoying reading them.

The more I read though, the more quickly I figure out what actually happened and the more I question his amazing powers of perception and logic. Some of it seems pretty specious.

I forgot to get it out of my locker before I left work yesterday though so I won't be able to read it again until tomorrow. I picked the latest Malazan book off the pile and am starting it instead today. I am quickly getting the idea that I may have to reread the last two books before I am going to understand or remember what is going on.

*edit*
Went to a book sale today and bought a load of books. All sorts of treasures in my haul. I will probably be reading something from that. Feel free to put in your vote in my post about being a bad, bad girl.

A change of plans. Has anyone heard of "The Mill on the Floss" by George Eliot? Tashmere - 08/05/2010 11:51:04 AM 701 Views
The name vaguely rings a bell... also, close your italics tag. *NM* Legolas - 08/05/2010 12:39:15 PM 357 Views

I've read it. I enjoyed it, which surprised me, because Eliot isn't the happiest writer. Rebekah - 08/05/2010 12:47:40 PM 644 Views

I take it from that statement that The Mill on the Floss is basic reading in other countries? Tashmere - 09/05/2010 12:14:27 AM 704 Views
Re: Hmm. Not so much basic as known. Danae al'Thor - 10/05/2010 07:19:10 PM 797 Views
