Blog a Penguin Classic!

[Hazeltree]

Mine's just arrived. I got 'The Hunting of the Snark'. The actual story/poem is quite short but there is tons of introduction/preface type stuff at the beginning and bibliography and appendix at the end!

 

I've definately got a better one than a lot of you though! :lol:

Hazeltree, if you would consider selling or swapping that to me when finished, I might be interested. It holds such lovely memories for me, I think I'd like the book.

Got mine today:

 

Under the Banyan Tree by R.K. Narayan.

 

It actually looks quite interesting.

 

Also, I have to say, I just love the smell of new books. Who else gave their book a good whiff?

[JudyB]

Has it arrived yet Judy!!?

 

 

No but there again there's not a lot of room for huge delivery lorries to transport it down my road:lol:

Me too. I used to work in the careers department of a sixth form college and each year we would order university prospectuses for the students. My boss and I would spend a pleasant day sorting them out - at the same time admiring the covers and sampling their fine bouquets! Think the other staff thought we were mad!

[angerball]

Me too.

 

Glad I'm not the only one.

Dammit - my book arrived yesterday! Like Hazeltree said, my book has a 30-page intro before the first play actually begins! I might skip that and just read the plays.

[madcow]

Still waiting for mine, begining to feel left out not!

Still waiting for mine, begining to feel left out not!

 

Don't worry I can keep you company....still haven't got mine either:roll:

[Michelle]

I really should start looking at mine...!

[happyanddandy]

Mine not arrived either!!

[nicx27]

Nor mine.

Finished The Vrigin and the Gypsy by DH Lawrence and have written my review. I only hope I don't get any hard comments from people if it appears on the site.

[JudyB]

Did you enjoy it?

[aromaannie]

Did you enjoy it?

 

I enjoyed the fact it was only 90 pages. It did get quite exciting at the end so considering it was completly out of my comfort zone in regards to reading material I was pleasently suprised by it.

[JudyB]

I've read it - thought it was quite strange especially the ending. Would loved to have seen the film - it was on recently but I missed it.

[~Andrea~]

I got mine today. The religious writings of Meister Echkart, 12th century monk. It looks a but dull but who knows it may surprise me. At least it may be of more interest to me than for someone with no spiritual beliefs.

[Icecream]

OH got his on Friday but I haven't got mine yet.

[LittleLijah]

Still haven't received mine either. Starting to worry it's lost in the post and they will think I've got it and expect me to review it:dunno:

[madcow]

Mine still hasn't arrived yet ah well still got loads on mount TBR.

[happyanddandy]

nor me

[nicx27]

No sign of mine either, and still desperately hoping it doesn't arrive.

[LittleLijah]

Has anyone else still not received their copy!?!

[happyanddandy]

I was just thinking the same thing. I don't have mine either.

[Icecream]

I was going to ask that too, but mine came today so hang on in there Littlelijah, and H&D.
