If you are interested in trying out so...Hi Yvonne, <br />If you are interested in trying out some Virginia Woolf, you could join us in the read-a-long of To the Lighthouse with Unputdownables.net. It's my first time reading anything by her.<br />Yesterday was only our first post so you could easily catch up. Here's a link to the page with the schedule and all the info you need, if you decide to join us.<br />http://unputdownables.net/2011/06/23/read-a-long-with-unputdownables-to-the-lighthouse-by-virginia-woolf/<br /><br /> Hi Phaedosia, <br />I love that you, too, loved The Scarlet Pimpernel! I'll definitely put up a review of it when I've finished.<br />As far as The Sheltering Sky, I put off reading this book for so long. I received it as a gift and it was highly recommended. I started it and then shelved it. But then I suggested it for my library reading group as a way to motivate myself to read it and it worked. I'm about 100 pages in, with roughly 200 more to go, and I'm loving it so far!Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573338753856895273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337914161244490315.post-51836108537002453812011-07-08T15:48:20.069-07:002011-07-08T15:48:20.069-07:00I LOVED The Scarlet Pimpernel in high school, too....I LOVED <i>The Scarlet Pimpernel</i> in high school, too. You'll have to let us know if this book turned out any good.<br /><br />Also, I've had <i>The Sheltering Sky</i> on my TBR shelf for ages. Let me know if I should move it to the top of the pile.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957140929607226966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337914161244490315.post-81913759298784806172011-07-08T14:53:32.032-07:002011-07-08T14:53:32.032-07:00Hi Elspeth,
Three great book choices by the sound...Hi Elspeth,<br /><br />Three great book choices by the sound of things, two from authors that are new to me. <br /><br />Virginia Woolf, is of course well known to me, although I have to own up to being very lax, when it comes to reading the classics.<br /><br />The first lines that you chose would definitely make me want to read on, although from the full synopsis, I am not sure that I would choose to read that book of the three you mention, first.<br /><br />I really like the sound of 'The Sheltering Sky', although I have added all three to my reading list.<br /><br />Thanks for the great recommendations.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.com
