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

Welcome, Roya!

Kathleen, I enjoyed both of your reviews.

I have a hard time with poetry, but I did enjoy most of Blake's. As for Wildfell Hall I liked it and I prefer Anne to her sisters. Sadly I've never read any of her poetry.

Terry, your year looks to be going great, some really good reads so far. The only one that left me stranded was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I should have read that long before I did, it might have helped.

Matt, time has dulled my memory of Sense and Sensibility, but All Quiet on the Western Front is one of the best. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Good luck on your challenges, enjoy.

You are off to a great start. I enjoyed your reviews, sorry Dune was a flop.

Glad you are back.

You may feel like you are off to a slow start, but your are reading some great stuff.

My Review"

Not sure I would like this one, but I liked your review, as usual.

Personally, I couldn't do it if I didn't borrow from the buffet, enjoy.

Ila, so far I'm a fan of Dumas. I've only read three, but really liked them all.

Enjoy your challenges, you have some excellent selections. I just finished my 44th day reading War and Peace, but I'm only reading it one hour per day. It is fantastic.

I have enjoyed this discussion, I thought the book was terrific.

Cara and Viola welcome, I'm delighted you have joined us.

I also took a long time to get to Trollope. My first was just a few months ago. I too will be reading more.

Rouge, welcome to the group.

Another five star read and it looks like one I might enjoy, thanks.

Welcome Avery
