Laurel’s comments from the I Read Therefore I Am group.

I am feeling your pain Angela - went back yesterday after a week off! Hope it all goes ok and the weekend isn't too far away now :)

@Hilary - I was planning on treating myself to a copy of Divine Comedy as well - not sure which one to go for yet but it's bound to not be cheap cos I want a really good introduction and lots of notes to help me along!

Your description of Anne's delightful relatives made me chuckle Angela - they were pretty rotten!

Cool - although I really should have remembered what it is was ;)

And that's another two added....

Well that's what they were getting the bodies for wasn't it - oh the irony!

Lol and they nearly came to blows over it! I hope Mr P gets his revenge on the evil Mr Jingle and his servant for outsmarting him and Sam - what a villain ha ha!

Looking forward to meeting Mr Weller Snr ;)

Weekly is fine for me

Well it rings a bell - maybe some sort of earthwork???

Ha ha sorry I must have my evil head on! I just liked the way it all tied together and the ending was fitting even if not funny (except to me) - they were discussing good stories and the ending to some of those wasn't always nice but that didn't mean they weren't a good ending in a literary sense.
Re: your spoiler - yeah that definitely wasn't cool!

Ha ha, this is how I imagine my grandparents must have felt when they had sent me and my brothers back home again!

Awwww that's lovely!

Yeah it was a bit slow to start especially as Anne isn't introduced straightaway

We can put the Meditations back a bit if you want - I haven't even got a copy yet anyways ;)
Am excited for Dante!

That bit made me chuckle - he writes it very well - my version is accompanied by a lot more swearing!

Where is he riding through - is it Gloucestershire???

I liked the ending! Very funny, loved the linking story about the lizard and some of the in between stories were real gems.

Kinder than Solitude sounds great - have added that and the Laxness book to my tbr list!

Am looking forward to reading Life after Life as well - I picked it up on the kindle when it was only £1.99 or something like that cos I really liked her Jackson Brodie books.

I'm almost finished with Gardens of the Moon and then I'm not really sure what to read next...

I enjoyed the Woman in White better but The Moonstone is still brilliant and paved the way for our modern detective novels so defo deserves to be on the list!

Hi Suzan and welcome!
