I also love your review of Charlotte Bronte's Villette. Well written and insightful.

LOL! You definitely have a way with words! I am so glad you took my comment in the way it was meant. But now... every time I look at a D. H. Lawrence book I will be musing, with melancholy, about whiney horses!! Thanks a lot! LOL!

Still, it is on the 'hot reviews' on the home page - where it should be - but, sadly, sans horsey neigh now!!!!! I'm hoping you get heaps more thumbs too...

Nice to chat with someone, who has a lovely sense of humour, and is a special word smith. heh

I love your honest review of Madame Bovary. It's interesting isn't it how we can read a book in our youth and then re-read it when we've seen a few more winters and see it from a completely different perspective. I definitely concur with your sympathetic view of Emma.
