My husband saw it and said the same. I don't think I could endure "seeing" what I'm reading!!!

I've never read anything by this author; you do recomend him then Greg?

Started yesterday my re-read (for a group read at my library) The Sleeping Voice, a really beautifull novel on the vicil war in Spain. To be recomended!

I had Kat, thanks. Sardinia is my personal paradise!

I don't think I'm reading this: not unother book on WWII!

I loved this book, when I read it years ago.
I thought that it was a brilliant iedea to see the life of different people in different age and times by means of a siongle book... Something like this the italian writer Gian Marco Griffi has been doing with his latest work Digressione

I have to see if I can find it. I've just retourned from three weeks at the seaside, and I'm a little behind!

P&P is probably my favourite book ever! I think I've read it something like 10 or 15 times. And everytime there's something new.
All characters are real, with flows adn defects. Funny, ironic, silly, istrionic...
To think that Jane Austen almost never went outside her house! She seems like reading int the mind of the people

I'm at the moment listening to Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon and reading Dead Man's Ransom by Ellis Peters and Young Renny by Mazo de la Roche
