Bob’s comments from the Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) group.

You have been busy, thanks for the short story link.

Liesl, I agree with you about Painted Veil. While it wasn’t a favorite, I’m a huge fan of Maugham’s. I agree with Lynn about The Razor’s Edge, it is one of my favorites by Maugham.

I’m not familiar with your most recent reads, thanks for cluing me in. You really have set a fast pace, a Bingo can’t be far away.

Kathleen You have given me two more really good reviews. Looks like you didn’t like A Study in Scarlet as much as I did, but close. And I have always felt I under rated Portrait at 4 stars, it is better than that.

I’m in the same boat as Sara. I’m aware of Dangerous Liaisons, but have never been motivated to give it a try. Five stars make it harder to ignore, oh well one of these days.

Matt, I agree with you about Poisonwood. I found it to be a solid 3 star read, but it didn’t grab me in any positive way. I have avoided Kingsolver ever since. I have a copy of The Bean Trees, maybe someday I will give it a try.

Wharton is a true favorite, enjoyed your review,

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the better Holmes stories, glad you liked it

Sophie's Choice at first glance doesn't look like it would be of interest to me, thanks for the positive info.

You are close to two more, you have this well in hand, still mostly 4 & 5 stars, congrats.

Welcome to the group Sid, glad you are with us.

Welcome Eva, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Cat was the first I read by Williams. it was excellent

The Woman in White is the first I read by Collins, been hooked ever since.

So many I'm unfamiliar with, but I enjoy the reviews.

Enjoy your challenges!

I enjoyed your review of Streetcar!

Lisa, Welcome to the group!

Glad things are going well for you, I have yet to list a single read for the Genre challenge.

You are really working these challenges, congrats!
