I think Stevens is an immensely tragic character. Personally I don't think like or dislike comes into it much. Well, I suppose it does - I would just rather a flawed character like Stevens, who is like the last bridge standing between the traditional and the modern England. Such a beautiful, sensitive book.
Worthy Booker winner?
Have begun The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Started tonight!

I'm going to read this after I've finished my current book. Have you seen the film?
Damn. My own nomination and I haven't got time to read it. Might be able to towards the end of the month. For now I'll just say that I've seen the film and I think it's excellent. Really. I recommend it.
Hurrah!
Thanks, Fiona :D
Fallen Angel by andrew Taylor. It's the omnibus of his Roth trilogy. I thought the TV adaptation was pretty good so I have high hopes. It's over 900 pages long but I think it's the sort of book that pulls you in.
Same question as Veronica.
Hi Judy. Actually, the last post was 2 days ago - mine! We read a range of stuff, but I generally just join in if it's something I want to read. Anyway, welcome.

That was quick! How did you like it in comparison to the film?
Finished The Grey Woman by Elizabeth Gaskell.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to get hold it of sometime.

This is a sneaky thing to write on this group's own page, but if you love classics, join the Victorians! group as well. If you haven't already. :)
I'm reading (or rather, listening to) The Grey Woman by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell.
That's a shame. Call me a snob but if you're the daughter of Arthur Miller and married to Daniel Day-Lewis, I expect genius!

No but I really want to. Cate Blanchett sounds perfect for the role, but I'm not sure about Dench. How did you find it compared to the novel?
