I loved Treasure Island, hope you enjoy it too.

One day I'll try Middlemarch again. I tried, but gave up. Still want to read it eventually.

Hi Carolien, Treasure Island is a reread, first read about 45 years ago. Enjoyed it back then. I wonder what a cynical, wordly-wise (so he thinks) grumpy old man will make of it.

This will be my first go at Middlemarch.
