Read in January, 1978
University literature class started me on the road to Thomas Hardy. I tried to read all his books and writings. There is a big difference in the tone of the books from Far from the Madding Crwod to the Mayor of Casterbridge. The afore mentioned books have hope and a great story, with plot twists, clever writing and mystery. I even enjoyed returen of the Native, but his books grow increasingly dark. Jude the Obscure actually made me ill. Too dark and fatalistic. What is with these authors anyway....more

I like Hardy for more or less the same reason I like Hugo: he's out of his mind, but he tells a damn good story.
