  1. Charles Dickens did pretty well for himself as a writer, but why am I having such trouble getting through Bleakhouse? Again, and again I start reading where I left off, take it to two more pages, put it down (yet again) and start reading abit of Enid B( I lie alot!). I am frustrated to say the least, and hoping that I can read this before I retire - one page per month then!!! By the way 'hi'
  2. I have just read Jane Eyre and thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot underestimate the writers talent, but I could not stop getting angry when she turns away from true love (at this point, Jane did not pressume that an happy ever after would come from a call in the night!). Okay, so this classic was from a period of religious doctrine, but the realities for Jane to walk away from her true love after finding he was still married to a redundant madwoman, too much to digest. The harshness she had lived under and the reality to suffer some more and at one point, near death, surely, alittle rebelliousness to survive would of been wiser. Anyway, I plan to read Wuthering heights next, and plan to be more open minded and less sensitive! But what is this I read, below comments say this book is hard going...oh cripes, this might not be such a doddle. But alot safer than registration with match.com where eager fellows wink (and lie) into your email account that I find creepy and surreal when this is reality!!!! I also wonder if anyone will ever read this piece as the last review was in 2009...and they are not going to know how frusting it has been for me when I previously written my piece, when accidently deleting it and then having to restart with less enthuasiasm..but it is done, phew! Bon voyage and thank you ever so.
