I finished so far Thomas De Qunicey'...Hi Fanda!<br /><br />I finished so far Thomas De Qunicey's "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater", and I've started (minutes ago) to read Charlotte Bronte's "The Professor". I plan to read one of Jane Austen's novels (either Persuasion or Sense & Sensibility), and I also plan to read George Sand's "Indiana" and Alfred de Musset's play "Lorenzaccio". On the other hand, I read Pushkin's "Ruslaka", and Keats' "La Belle Dame Sans Merci". <br /><br />I wanted to read many romantic books, but, like you, I was reading Emile Zola too (I read The Kill, Captain Burle, and J'accuse). Two beautiful challenges.<br /><br />Maan Khttps://twitter.com/MaanK2?lang=ennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-61820801501547957022015-04-16T21:36:00.851+07:002015-04-16T21:36:00.851+07:00Blake is pretty weird btw.

I'm no fun - I think I like them all ...Fanda, <br /><br />I'm no fun - I think I like them all and look forward to them all the same. <br /><br />I will say that I am having difficulty connecting with my Romanticism choice. I wanted to love The Last of the Mohicans (which I know you enjoyed), but I am struggling to like it. I find it a little too wordy for me. And, I am also adding expectations from the movie to the book, and the two do not match up. But I'm hanging in there and hoping for a change of heart soon.<br /><br />But if I had to choose the one that I am really, REALLY looking forward to, maybe it would be Realism (Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi).

I'm enjoying it but it's not easy and I'm not looking forward to writing about it! I'm afraid this is the month I've been dreading :) I've got lots going on this month too - this, Zola month, and Trollope month!<br /><br />Looking forward to Victorian Literature the most, and, like you, Naturalism for August. Favourite so far as been Medieval :)ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.com
