Two weeks ago, yeah. Legolas Send a noteboard - 13/09/2012 08:20:45 PM
I was pretty busy and only checking online intermittently.

See link.
BTW, based on your mention of it I bought Orlando Figues' book on the Crimean War.

Ah, let me know what you think. He had some thoughts about it that sounded like they might be one interpretation but not necessarily the only one, about the Russophobia in Europe at the time and the mentality of the Russians during that war... I'd be interested to know what you make of all that.

Didn't really like his treatment of the Osman Empire prior to the war too much, but then I'd read Caroline Finkel's Osman's Dream only a few months earlier, which obviously went into a lot more detail and depth.

Hm. I might give that a try, then, despite being even less of a fan of Le Rouge et le Noir than you. *NM* Legolas - 12/09/2012 09:56:50 PM 247 Views
Sounds like you'd be the only one. This review went over like a fart in church. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2012 11:20:23 PM 287 Views

Well, not many here read French lit, it seems Larry - 13/09/2012 02:19:23 PM 501 Views
We could certainly do some interesting book clubs on French lit, if we had enough participants. Legolas - 13/09/2012 06:49:34 PM 578 Views
Well, I thought it had largely died as a viable model back in 2004-2005 Larry - 14/09/2012 10:09:44 PM 629 Views
Yeah, my Princess de Clèves review didn't have much success either. *NM* Legolas - 13/09/2012 06:48:07 PM 251 Views
I didn't notice that one. Did you post it last week or the week before? Tom - 13/09/2012 07:42:11 PM 590 Views

It sounds like an interesting but somewhat dry novel. Tom - 14/09/2012 02:48:10 PM 478 Views
I dare say you'd be shouting at her to give in already before too long, yes. Legolas - 14/09/2012 07:33:09 PM 587 Views
I think you now have to read/review Samuel Richardson's Pamela Larry - 14/09/2012 10:08:14 PM 674 Views
Samuel Richardson is on my list, aye - but Pamela or Clarissa? *NM* Legolas - 14/09/2012 11:01:26 PM 249 Views
Hey, I read the review. nossy - 15/09/2012 12:57:45 AM 615 Views
