I enjoyed your review Gyre, I read Old Man and the Sea quite a number of years ago and it has always remained a sentimental favourite of mine.

 

Thanks Shelbel:friends0:

 

I finished 'The Outer Dark' by Cormac McCarthy, which was really good, a very different book, the two main characters were brilliant :)

I finished 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. I enjoyed it but it took me awhile to get into the story but once I did, I found it very engrossing and very witty.:D

I finished 'The Night of the Hunter' by Davis Grubb. I have always loved the movie and the book is even better, Harry Powell is still as terrifying in print.

I enjoyed this too Paula - if you haven't read her other two I can recommend them as well :blush:

 

Did you see the TV dramatisation?

 

I did, it was good but the book was better, I have added her other two books to my wishlist Paula :)

I finished 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov, this was my second attempt reading it. It was a great read, a book that gave me a lot to think about.

There is no right or wrong way to deal with grief. I'm sure I'd probably keep mine going in similar circumstances just because it's some sort of normality, no matter how small.

 

The important thing is that you're doing it because you want to, and because it helps.
