2015 Far from the Madding Crowd

[Beth]

We are reading "Far from a Madding Crowd" by Thomas Hardy.

Commonly read in college English class, this title is a classic and has been made into a movie a few times with a new version coming out in the next few months.

Give it a little time, don't give up! It is worth the tread :)

It was worth the read, even though most of us couldn't quite finish it in time. Thank you for suggesting it!

Finally finished it. I was a little surprised that it wrapped up so quickly once Troy was shot, especially after Hardy spent 3 pages describing the gargoyles that destroyed Fanny's grave.
