Does it count? Generally speacking the article in front is not "worth"

[Leslie]

Laura - you are absolutely correct, the article "the" doesn't count.

A great story I thought. Strangely I discovered it shortly after visiting Highgate Cemetery which made the story really come to life.

I struggled a bit with Kipling's prose and had to re read. I realised I missed quite a lot of crucial information.

I read this years ago after seeing the film. If possible I thought the book was more harrowing than the film. The kind of book you never forget.

The film was quite a chock to me. I don't want to think of the book. I don't think I can read it now that I'm a mother...

[Tweedledum]

You are right... Don't go there!

[Leslie]

U: Unsolicited by Julie Kaewert - first in a series of mysteries set in the world of British publishing.

[B the BookAddict]

@Tweedledum Yes, agree! Many times, I had to put the book down and walk away for a while to clear myself of the gut-wrenching emotion I felt.

[Tweedledum]

V
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell

A great but disturbing read. Here's a chapter of fairly recent history we prefer not to think about. I could not put the book down.

[Paulfozz]

O: Old Glory : A Voyage Down the Mississippi by Jonathan Raban

I read this back in the 80's, when I was travelling a lot, and going through my armchair travel phase. It's good, but drags a little.
