Did you like Heart of Darkness? I know a lot of people who have read it and didn't like it at all.
I didn't like it. He is good at descriptions, but I found myself forgetting what I had just read and having to go back to re-read. It also took me a long time to read a "short" story of just three chapters. I did like the historical details about that period in history, and had to remember that was the period. (very racist remarks, ideas and descriptions)
Hmmm, very interesting. Thanks for the insights!

Read: Things Fall Apart from my African American list. I just loved it and gave it four out of five stars.Read: Mrs. Dalloway from my British List. I didn't really like this book and gave it two out of five stars.
Wow, some awesome lists with amazing books!I also didn't really enjoy Mrs Dalloway
Looks like you are doing a great job getting through your lists. I'm also working on a Latino/Hispanic list. I like how you divided the lists "For sure going to read" "May be able to read". I've just got mine all thrown in a TBR list. But it wouldn't seem so overwhelming broken down like that.I have 37 books left on the African American list you had. I've also been working on a Latino/Hispanic list.
Good luck and enjoy!
Mary, where did you get the latino/hispanic list?

Yay. Lists, lists, lists, :D
Have gotten The Way We Live Now and have started reading it. Have only gotten 20 pages in, but it is so far so good. :D
So far is boring :( Oh well, will get it done! lol
I struggle with Trollope. And. Usually like Victorian era novels
I always think of Trollope as being at the top of the second tier of Victorian novelists. His books are never quite as entertaining as you expect them to be, but they are really great social satires. Reading them, you have a sense that nothing ever changes. Politics, finance, religion, social issues--it's all so familiar. Keep going. The story arc is huge so it takes awhile for Trollope to get all the pieces in place. There is a payoff at the end. If you want a more wickedly funny Trollope, try The American Senator.

Thanx for sharing the link, ive always wanted to get into the literature, both of my parents are from mexico. The closest ive gotten is buying Don Quixote in spanish lol... but i havent read it yet. so maybe ill find something on this list. :)
My father's parents were both from Mexico but his dad died when he was just two. My dad always acted like his family came over on the Mayflower so I missed out on a lot of the Mexican culture and heritage. I'm hoping to get some taste of that by reading Latino books (with an emphasis on Mexican authors or history.
Finished Hamlet at the end of January. Lots happening so was unable to post it as read here. It was ok, but I had trouble following along and didn't approve of Hamlet's behavior to his Mother and the girl who loved him. He acted the spoiled brat. The way his father was murdered was not very convincing either.
Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "Finished Hamlet at the end of January. Lots happening so was unable to post it as read here. It was ok, but I had trouble following along and didn't approve of Hamlet's behavior to ..."I always think that Shakespeare is better performed.
I am also of the same opinion. That I would appreciate him better if I saw them performed. :D
Finished The Golden Compass. I gave it two stars. It was OK but I didn't really like it. I was pulled into the world and it was a fast/easy read but I don't approve of Pullman's reasons for writing this series and that has tainted my enjoyment of the story.
Lisa wrote: "I struggle with Trollope. And. Usually like Victorian era novels"I have been finding it a struggle just to continue reading it. I put it down and don't have the energy(?) to even want to pick it up again. Maybe I just need to wait for a better time to read him. I just don't know why I am struggling with this because I usually like novels like this. Dickens, etc...
Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "Finished The Golden Compass. I gave it two stars. It was OK but I didn't really like it. I was pulled into the world and it was a fast/easy read but I don't approve of Pullman's reasons for writing this series and..."What were his reasons for writing the series?
Pullman is extremely atheistic and/or agnostic (which is fine) but he has been quoted as saying that he wrote this series for several reasons. 1)Because he "really" hates C.S. Lewis' Narnia series, 2)He loves Paradise Lost and believes that Milton was portraying Lucifer as the "hero" in it, 3) (Peter Hitchens) "Pullman has left little doubt about his books' intended thrust in discussions of his works, such as noting in a 2003 interview that 'My books are about killing God' and in a 2001 interview that he was 'trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief'."For these reasons and more I really believe that parents should read and discuss with their children these books if allowing their children to read them. I also believe that about Christian authors/books such as C.S. Lewis' Narnia series. That parents should discuss with their children what they believe, why they believe such and such and answer any questions children would have about it :D
Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "Pullman is extremely atheistic and/or agnostic (which is fine) but he has been quoted as saying that he wrote this series for several reasons. 1)Because he "really" hates C.S. Lewis' Narnia series,..."Thanks. I haven't read Pullman's books yet.
Regarding the comments on Trollope, "I have been finding it a struggle just to continue reading it. I put it down and don't have the energy(?) to even want to pick it up again," I agree. That one was a tough go! Will be interested to hear about The Bluest Eye when you get to that. It just stands out in my mind so sharply even after 30+ years of avid reading that should blur it with other Novels!

I have a hard time with Trollope too !
Some archaic sentence structure doesn't make it easier.
I've read 4-5 novels and won't dive in for any more.
It seems the plots are similar - getting an inheritance and marrying off an
eligible female seem to dominate.
I DID really like the intricate descriptions of all of the many and varied
titles of men working (?) for the Anglican Church.
Have finished The Bell Jar. I rated it 3 stars not because it wasn't good (it was) but because it was hard for me to read. My mother has suicidal depression and has told me it is like being in a black hole and nobody understands. This book helped me to understand her a little better.
Melissa wrote: "Regarding the comments on Trollope, "I have been finding it a struggle just to continue reading it.

I will be sure to let you know about The Bluest Eyes. :)

Thank you Michael for your comments. I am sorry didn't reply earlier, I just saw your comments. Trollope really is hard to read. :D The archaic sentences really don't bother me, I read the KJV of the Bible and that can really be hard to understand/read. lol I also love Dickens (some of his books are hard to read also and this book reminds me of Little Dorrit. That also was a very hard book for me to get through. Your reasons though are very good and maybe some of my problems with it also. :)
Have finished I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I rated it 4 stars and really loved how Ms. Angelou writes.
Longhare wrote: "I always think of Trollope as being at the top of the second tier of Victorian novelists.

I have four books in his Palliser series and have been scared to give them a try. :)
Have finished Their Eyes Were Watching God: A Novel. I found myself alternately crying, laughing and cheering on the protagonist.
I have finished The Great Gatsby. While the author has a way with words, I just didn't like the story all that much. All the characters were selfish and not much redeeming qualities except for Nick the main voice. A 3/5 stars
Have finished Pride and Prejudice. OH! I so wished this book had been longer! Miss Austen knew how to really craft a well told story that captivates and ensnares its readers. 5 star book. :)

It actually has more. I just didn't list the short stories. :) lol

Honestly though, if I hadn't known that the books had an agenda, I don't know that I would have noticed, just like I didn't "get" that the Chronicles of Narnia were pro-Christian books when I read them as a child. I just thought they told a wonderful story.
Guess who put the Pratchett series there? I couldn't pick one...
