I ran out of audio books on hold because, like a total moron, I went backwards in the alphabet on Grafton instead of forward 😖 so I tried out one of the #1001Books I had on my list... say a prayer for me. #25hours #alreadyterrified

rretzler It‘s a good book, but it is rather lengthy and bogs down a little in the middle. I thought it was worth it though. Good reading! 5y
IamIamIam @rretzler Thanks for the encouragement! Pre-20th century is really pushing me out of my comfort zone! Lol 5y
rretzler I know what you mean. I‘ve read quite a few and some are definitely easier to read than others. I‘m listening to Dickens‘ David Copperfield right now and I feel the same way! 😝 5y

IamIamIam @rretzler I own Great Expectations but I haven't even thought about braving it! How's David Copperfield going? So far, TWIW is going smoother than I expected! I found a site that offers study guides so I'm going to refer back to that after a few chapters. 😂 5y
rretzler After Nicholas Nickleby last year and Copperfield, I‘m coming to the conclusion that Dickens may not be for me. It‘s okay, but I tend to like stories that have some purpose, like a mystery or quest, something that gives me an idea about where the story is going. It‘s more difficult for me to read fiction that just sort of meanders through someone‘s life, which Copperfield does. Probably why I read more genre fiction, than literary! 😂 5y
IamIamIam @rretzler I absolutely know what you mean!!! So many of my friends are in love with Pride and Prejudice and I am so anti-Austen! 😂 I don't get all the implications of disobeying the rules of polite society! Lol... Regency writing is so difficult for me!! 5y
