I'm not too familiar with that one. Some of the books on my list are pretty chunky, so it'll be good to have a shorter one in the mix.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-37333687497991950462010-12-08T12:55:45.903-05:002010-12-08T12:55:45.903-05:00That's a pretty comprehensive list you've ...That's a pretty comprehensive list you've got and it's given me some ideas :)Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-32305230184349747302010-12-08T10:35:15.994-05:002010-12-08T10:35:15.994-05:00I always try to read at least one famous classic e...I always try to read at least one famous classic every year but I won't be signing up for the official challenge.

Of your list, I have read Middlemarch, The Port of a Lady, The House of Mirth, The Moonstone, and The Count of Monte Cristo, all of which I enjoyed. If you read Middlemarch, I would suggest keeping a list of all the characters -- there are a lot of them!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131924592639030353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-82581408468801151212010-12-06T10:34:43.605-05:002010-12-06T10:34:43.605-05:00I am also joining this one and cannot wait -- I ne...I am also joining this one and cannot wait -- I needed something like this to get me back into the Victorian reading.
