I second Kafka. I'd also love to read Poor Folk by Dostoyevsky.

I have the whole series. I read the first one a few years ago and really liked it. Now I don't know much about the actual Boudica so I'm not sure how historically accurate they are, but the book I read was well-written and enjoyable. If you like historical fiction, give it a go!

Oh I'm so glad you liked it!!

Thank you!!

That was beautiful!

As a mystery lover, I tried to get into Father Brown but didn't find him as good as I hoped. But I have to agree with you about The Man Who Was Thursday, I was very disappointed by it as well.

I feel left out. :(

I usually only re-read books if they are breathtakingly amazing or I felt I missed something the first time. One book I'm dying to get my hands on so I can re-read it is East Wind, West Wind by Pearl Buck. I read it in French years ago and was so moved by it. If I'm reading a series on and off...

Best song EVER! :D

I used to LOVE that book! :D

The Merchant of Venice is my favourite. As far as literary guides go, I really can't help you there. Our high school texts had a guide right in the book. I agree with Beer Good though, the best way to experience Shakespeare is on stage.

It is very festive! :)

Merry Christmas everybody! And RainbowGurl, it's really nice to see you around again!

I tend to be a rather cynical person by nature. Living in a big city these last few years hasn't done anything to boost my opinion of the human race. When Jennifer Connelly's character takes Keanu Reeves to one of "our leaders", she takes him to meet a Nobel Prize winning scientist. If an alien...

I knew that starting this thread would get negative responses based solely on the fact that film critics dislike Keanu Reeves. Now I've only seen a handful of his movies, and maybe I'm been fortunate enough to have only seen his better movies, but I've always felt he gives strong performances. I...

Where's Rudolph when we need him? :sad:
