Reading Joseph Conrad "Under Western Eyes." Joyce had not yet become incomprehensible at that point of "Portrait of the Artist-" so it's readable. Just wait till you get to "Finnegan's Wake." 😁😸 Speaking of incomprehensible good luck with Becket as well! I have Woolf's I think second novel "Night and Day" here that I have to get to. I had never realized that the character Anne was an employee at the farm, I thought she was a brat who lived there with her (wealthy) family LOL 😸😁 thanks for enlightening me Merry Christmas 👍
❤📚🎄❤️ I love Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. I'm reading Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy right now. So far, enjoying it. Good luck, and enjoy your December reading.
Hi FEMKE, glad to hear you enjoyed Mrs. Dalloway. Septimus Warren Smith has long been one of my go-to fictional heroes…”he was, on the whole, a border case, neither one thing nor the other, might end with a house at Purely and a motor car or continue renting apartments in back streets all his life; one of those half-educated, self-educated men whose education is all learned from books borrowed from public libraries, read in the evening after the days work, on the advice of well-known authors consulted by letter.’ R.I.P. Virginia Septimus ranks right up there with Isabel Gilbert (The Doctor’s Wife), Jude Fawley (the Obscure), Frankenstein’s Monster, Boxer (Animal Farm) and Mr. Bennet, who “had his garden and his books”.
Hi FEMKE, if you 'liked' Portrait of the Artist and you want to spend your next few years in college impressing English professors of my generation (Xers and youngish Boomers), you should tackle Ulysses. Prof. Heffernan of The Teaching Company has a brilliant lecture series that walks you through this turd chapter by excruciating chapter...my God bless his soul! J.J. recycles his altar ego S.D. to help you and Leopold through this 768 page slog. Bertrand Russell once said "There are two motives for reading a book: one that you enjoy it; the other that you can boast about it." If you get started right now you'll have a fighting chance of being done by June 16th... Good Luck!
i just bought the book set of Anne of green gables 😊
That’s so exciting! Have fun reading :) ⭐️
