I know this is a classic but there are so many better books than this one. I am just so disappointed!
I really enjoyed this book. The prose as well as swiftness of the plot was so enjoyable to read- like slipping into an abyss each time.
These two quotes stood out for me:
"I consider that for any man of culture to accept the standard of his age is a form of the grossest immorality." pg 78.
'We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all" pg 202.
I really don't know why I put off reading this- Highly recommended.

As I read I thought more about the author than I usually do.
A large personality.
