I think it did win an Oscar. I can't wait to see it. I'm about 1/2 way through the book.

Rebecca won Best Picture in 1940. It was Hitchcock's only Best Picture Oscar and he never got an Oscar for Best Director. Isn't that amazing?!

[Barbara]

That is amazing! I love all of his movies. I don't think there's anyone now, or possibly ever will be, anyone like him.

I am reading [book..."

Yay! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! It's an excellent comfort read!

Took a while for me to get into it, but I love it!! So glad I didn't give up on it (which I almost did!)

Hi, Courtney. Welcome to the group. I guess that book is based on a classic. Did you like it?

I started War and Peace (the Briggs translation) today. It's part of a January Group Read in another group and it'll help to have fellow-readers along for the ride.

It's paraphrased P&P, with zombie action thrown in. :(

Good luck! Great winter read, I suppose.

I have a great collection of Classic novels, but am working through them slowly. :/ Some of the ones I have gotten around to and really liked were Vanity Fair, Pride and Prejudice, 1984, and Great Expectations. A couple of the ones I have read and was disappointed in are The Great Gatsby, Brave New World, and Heart of Darkness.
