I know, it’s
Saturday already! However, yesterday was quite a busy day for me, so I didn’t
have time to post the Friday Progress for Literary Classics Challenge. Never
mind, better late than never, anyway.. J.

Reading a Book by Jessie Willcox Smith

This week I
am still in the middle of The Old Curiosity Shop, page 240 of 544, however I
was able to slip two classics short stories reading. It’s The Three Strangers
from Thomas Hardy and A Terribly Strange Bed by Wilkie Collins (the review will
follow). I quite enjoyed them, a ‘fun escape’ from Dickens. I think it’s a good
idea to read short stories from authors whom we haven’t read the book, for we
could get to know their styles before deciding whether we would like to read
their novels or not. And after reading both Hardy and Collins, I know I’d love
to read their novels, especially for Collins.
That’s it, a
short progress of my classics reading. Meanwhile, I am rejuvenating my feature:
Character Thursday. You would find the post very soon. And if you’d like to
join me in Character Thursday, please feel free to join in next Thursday!
