Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

A few thoughts on my Classic challenge book. Well, books, as it turns out. Rebekah - 22/01/2011 11:48:21 PM 1326 Views
This month is just making me hate classics. ? - 23/01/2011 12:06:08 AM 1150 Views
Aw. That's a shame. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 12:21:10 AM 1055 Views

Hrm... a high fantasy classic... ranagrande - 23/01/2011 01:15:05 PM 958 Views
Yeah? Okay... *NM* ? - 23/01/2011 01:16:15 PM 477 Views
Yes. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 01:17:18 PM 1107 Views
Dunsany is good. And Grimm, but Camilla - 23/01/2011 01:25:40 PM 975 Views
There's really only one high fantasy classic, no? Or two, if you count the Silm separately. *NM* Legolas - 23/01/2011 01:35:03 PM 477 Views
Perhaps Gormenghast? Camilla - 23/01/2011 01:58:50 PM 1129 Views
Perhaps, haven't read either Dunsany or Peake. Legolas - 23/01/2011 02:02:51 PM 1088 Views
Re: Perhaps, haven't read either Dunsany or Peake. Camilla - 23/01/2011 02:05:31 PM 1253 Views

H. Rider Haggard. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 01:24:01 PM 1078 Views
Sounds interesting. ? - 23/01/2011 01:34:45 PM 1114 Views
Re: Sounds interesting. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 01:39:34 PM 1178 Views
King Solomon's Mines is also awesome. nossy - 23/01/2011 03:52:04 PM 942 Views
You can't love all of the classics, but it's not like it's a genre of its own that you can dislike. Legolas - 23/01/2011 12:32:01 AM 1143 Views
Precisely Camilla - 23/01/2011 09:40:26 AM 1368 Views
True true... ? - 23/01/2011 12:58:42 PM 1101 Views
Fortunately, that's precisely what this site aims to do! *NM* Legolas - 23/01/2011 01:34:16 PM 491 Views
You just aren't reading the right books (and reviews), it seems Larry - 23/01/2011 12:41:07 AM 1165 Views
The Swiss Family Robinson is hardly a "classic", unless by "classic" you mean "old". Tom - 23/01/2011 06:55:30 AM 963 Views
Fine then. ? - 23/01/2011 01:02:48 PM 1023 Views

A lot of "classics" need proper context to be appreciated DomA - 23/01/2011 12:22:44 PM 1323 Views
Well said. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 12:46:35 PM 1159 Views
Re: Well said. DomA - 24/01/2011 02:33:10 AM 1201 Views
That reminds me I need to get back to the Mémoires of Marguerite de Valois. Legolas - 24/01/2011 10:17:17 PM 919 Views
Very true Camilla - 23/01/2011 01:04:56 PM 1079 Views
Speaking of Dumas... DomA - 24/01/2011 02:45:02 AM 950 Views

Re: oooh Legolas - 24/01/2011 10:29:23 PM 992 Views
Re: oooh DomA - 25/01/2011 01:15:39 AM 1098 Views
I really should watch that movie. Legolas - 25/01/2011 09:43:35 PM 1037 Views

Why not? We liked Le Déclin de l'Empire Américain and Les Invasions Barbares. *NM* Legolas - 26/01/2011 06:45:26 PM 478 Views
Re: Why not? We liked Le Déclin de l'Empire Américain and Les Invasions Barbares. DomA - 27/01/2011 12:26:48 PM 1322 Views
I guess I'd have to see it to have an opinion on that. Legolas - 27/01/2011 08:00:53 PM 1243 Views

The big problem with Dracula is that it's an epistolary novel. Tom - 23/01/2011 06:58:25 AM 1102 Views
Yeah, agreed. Legolas - 23/01/2011 09:46:57 AM 1046 Views
But Frankenstein doesn't even have good writing to recommend it. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 10:09:58 AM 1032 Views
Dracula is the book I hope to review (properly) today. I love it. So very much. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 10:08:34 AM 923 Views
The challenge is making me wish I hadn't already read Frankenstein Brian - 23/01/2011 07:38:49 AM 1599 Views
Really? ranagrande - 23/01/2011 07:52:24 AM 996 Views
I didn't mind The Importance of Being Earnest too much Brian - 23/01/2011 08:38:14 AM 1558 Views

Thank you. *NM* Rebekah - 23/01/2011 10:10:34 AM 463 Views
For, as usual, being my wonderful, divine self and bringing light to the world? *NM* Camilla - 23/01/2011 10:12:30 AM 496 Views
Something like that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/01/2011 10:15:37 AM 420 Views
There's a reason why they include Wilde among the "decadents". Legolas - 23/01/2011 10:16:33 AM 1040 Views
Re: A few thoughts on my Classic challenge book. Well, books, as it turns out. Camilla - 23/01/2011 08:53:01 AM 1064 Views

Re: Yes. Camilla - 23/01/2011 10:18:02 AM 1050 Views
