I loooove the Classics Circuit posts and am looking forward to your thoughts on Gaskell. I have yet to read any of her stuff, but I certainly will! Welcome back! .-= Andi´s last blog ..Red Velvet Cookies =-.

Hope the interview went really well, you will be employed soon I feel it happening! For me best bit of the Penelopiad was the chorus of Penelope’s servants, the rest reads as a bit of an experiment in creating an unlikeable character.

Hi.You have a great blog and great reading choices. I read Penelopiad recently but didn't quite like it. The writing style was beautiful no doubt but it wasn't something I enjoyed. Let me say that it wasn't anything believable. Had expected a lot more from Margaret Atwood ..Would love to hear what you have got to say about it. .-= Shweta´s last blog ..The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri =-.

I noticed you weren’t around as much, but since you’re a newly wed that didn’t surprise me! I just reviewed Ruth for the Classics Circuit today; I was going to be the only one, but I’m so glad you’ll be giving your opinion too. I think the format I read it in (audiobook) made it seem more pedantic to me. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to your post!

So glad to hear that you’re feeling. I hate being sick and unable to read. It’s not fair. If I have to be sick, fine but as long as I can read. Your loot looks great. Happy reading.

I will look forward to your tour stop with Ruth. I read The Penelopiad a year or two ago and thought it was just ok. Definitely my least favorite Atwood so far. I hope you enjoy it more than I did! .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Library Loot =-.
