I think it's absolutely worth reading, but it's not one I fell in love with. <br /><br />p.s. No worries about the late comment! Comments are good no matter when they post. I've been so busy lately, I've gotten behind in my blog reading lately and I always feel bad.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-57231244473633088102012-03-20T00:47:38.137-04:002012-03-20T00:47:38.137-04:00Love these books!

If you change your mind, you should join in!<br /><br />Amanda - Return of the Native is on my list for this year!

I was invited to join The Classics Club by Jillian too, what a wonderful idea. But I'm still thinking about it... I just may not be able to take up such a formidable challenge. ;) However, I'd love to stop by and read your sharing of them.Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-13577116699666948592012-03-13T13:10:49.573-04:002012-03-13T13:10:49.573-04:00I've only read three from this list and have t...I've only read three from this list and have two on my TBR.

Sounds like maybe North and South should be next. <br /><br />Sandy - I think you would really like Sherlock and maybe Jekyll and Hyde. You should try some of the Sherlock short stories to see what you think. <br /><br />annieb - I really liked The Woman in White, so I've been wanting to read The Moonstone. It sounds like it would make a good winter read.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-79542391593548205152012-03-13T08:09:45.113-04:002012-03-13T08:09:45.113-04:00Wilkie Collins' The Moonstone is on my reread ...Wilkie Collins' The Moonstone is on my reread list because I haven't read it since high school, and that was many, many years ago, but I remember loving it.anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728598854622972187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-5714612428248669452012-03-13T07:43:27.515-04:002012-03-13T07:43:27.515-04:00*hangs head in shame* I have read none of these.*hangs head in shame* I have read none of these.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-30705264713831596142012-03-13T06:45:31.338-04:002012-03-13T06:45:31.338-04:00Have you read others by Gaskell?
