You do not

 

[Shadowdude]

You do not

I liked it. Well, in hindsight, probably not my favourite book - but it did open my eyes to a whole new way of writing.

Though after I did stop at page 65 and started again, it became a bit more... interesting.

Mrs Dalloway for most people (someone like Michael Kirby probably enjoys it) is one of those things that you appreciate the quality and value of reading it etc but you push yourself all the way through reading it. Sort of like exercise. It is not a read of leisure.

Michael Cunningham, you mean?

Hence your astonishing vocabulary

Here is my favorite selection
Lord of the Rings - including all the appendices and miscellaneous books - i.e. Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Children of Hurin
Inheritance Series
Bitterbynde Trilogy
Warrior of Rome
Chronicles of Narnia
Agincourt
Conqueror Series (about Genghis Khan)
The Histories (Herodotus) - Ancient Writer
The Illiad and Odessy
Random Star Wars extended universe books
The obligatory Potter series

As you can see my love for history extends to historical fiction. I also have a deep love for fantasy, especially Tolkeinesque fantasy. I'm an utter and unrepentant geek when it comes to Lord of the Rings.

[stampede]

i would like you so much right now if you didn't come across as such an arse. i can't be bothered to make that sound less offensive, so let's just add a 'lol'... there, that should do it.
