The 1913 version of The HOuse of SEven Gables sounds like a wonderful find! A Better Angel has been on the tbr pile for a long time. I need to read this book sooner rather than later. Thanks for your comments!

Adding books this am; I have a load from a trip to my favorite used bookstore. Found a 1913 "Visitor's Edition" of The House of Seven Gables, with 16 photo plates of the actual house. Very cool little book. Only $6!!!! Many other cool books as well, but that's probably my favorite find.

... have actually learned to like her, even though her Mansfield Park was one of the most boring books I've listened to. This House of the Seven Gables is read by Buck Schirner. I've never heard of him but it was 11 hours for only $10 on cd. The tapes were only $8. We'll see... edit to add ...

I read The House of Seven Gables and The Moonstone in October--both excellent. #275 Angela, I read both The Woman in White and The Moonstone in high school, also, and remember really enjoying them. I reread Woman in White last year ( it was about the 4th time I'd read it) and I ...

Seajack, I will recommend Dance to my brother. He lived in Japan a while and should enjoy the book! I started The House of the Seven Gables and didn't get very far. The reader has a lisp or very loose dentures. It was disconcerting while I tried to figure out why some words sounded odd. I will ...

... also read some great books I may not have because of this group. I'm still reading Shutter Island and have about half of The House of the Seven Gables to finish. But I got through Dracula, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde and The Monkey's Paw. This has been lots of ...

I had to give up on The House of Seven Gables. I know you all loved it, but I just could not get into it, and had to quit. Then I picked up a copy of Fear at a Book Fair, and when I opened it, the entire insides had been cut out (just leaving a 1" margin around the edge of the book). I took ...

... going through A Hell of A Woman quickly as it's a faced-paced pulp by one of my favorite authors. I've stalled a bit on The House of the Seven Gables. I like the story but it's moving like molasses. I need to get to my ARC right after I finish one of these. AnneH- Thanks for the ...

I just picked up House of the Seven Gables by Nataniel Hawthorne for cheap. I think it is a good Halloween book to start. I am a little more than halfway through Simple Genius by David Baldacci which is okay. But I think it is me. I'm just not in the mood right now. I like it when I'm ...

Linda : You've made me want to re-read House of the Seven Gables again on a dark and stormy night with a big mug of hot cocoa. I loved The Island of Dr Moreau - did you see the movie they made of it? Not as good as the book, but not bad either.

BDB I definitely agree that Moreau has been the scariest read I've had this month! Great review of House of Seven Gables-- you really captured the essence and mood of the novel in a few choice words. Thumbs up! I think this may be my favorite read this month--it is so far. (I read Wo ...

House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne is not my usual fare but I picked this up after a visit to the house (in Salem, MA) . Oddly this book has many aspects I usually dislike: exaggerated characters, a sedate and contrived plot but it has enough charm, wry humour and ...

Be interested to see what you think, it would be good to try another one. 95. House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne (3 out of 5) Not my usual fare but I picked this up after a visit to the house (in Salem, MA) . Oddly this book has many aspects I usually dislike: ...

American classics: Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables The house of the seven gables has belonged to the illustrious Pyncheon family for generations. Yet, rather than being a status symbol for the proud family, it signifies doom and decay. The original Pyncheon who built the ...

I finished The Island of Dr. Moreau and tried really hard to finish The House of the Seven Gables before I leave for vacation but I only got about halfway through. I'm off to NYC to, as my husband puts it, "buy about 900 books."

103. The House of the Seven Gables by Nataniel Hawthorne. I can't believe I have never read this book before. I worked there as a tour guide for 6 seasons and I managed to get by on just knowing the story line of the book. In my defense, I knew a ton of Hawthorne history and the history of the ...

Almost done with the House of the Seven Gables. Having grown up in Salem and given tours there for 6 seasons it's like returning home reading the book. Definitely my favorite book off the list so far, but I am biased!

... like to try it. As I said in my review, my biggest problem may have been that I couldn't make the adjustment so soon after The House of Seven Gables where I thought the atmosphere was so well done and the story developed layer by layer. I was also somewhat off-put by the first person narrative- ...

... been whipping through them. Time to take a break for something else. I started my 1010 challenge. First book up is The House of the Seven Gables. I started it last night and so far so good. I worked there for 6 seasons and never read the book, shame on me. I already know the story so ...

... built up to grab the reader and hold him breathless. It may have been that my problem was that I had just finished The House of Seven Gables with its heavy emphasis on atmosphere that develops much more slowly than in Hill’s story in which there seem to be sudden changes of both ...

Here's my reaction to The House of Seven Gables. Turns out I had reactions almost opposite of tymfos': Another atmospheric read for the Halloween Group Read but this one evoked some mixed feelings. I was expecting the slow, deliberate pace of 19th century fiction, and certainly got it. It ...

Book 100: Hawthorne, Nathanial: The House of Seven Gables Classics/Halloween read (10/08/09) PL 285 pages What can I say? I thought this book was a great Gothic novel that was very apposite for a Halloween read. One thing that contributed to this being a wonderful reading ...

I finished The House of Seven Gables. Mixed feelings about the book...hopefully I'll get to a review this weekend. I'm going to slide some other things in before The Island of Dr. Moreau. Since I've already read The Woman in White, I shouldn't fall too far behind.

I finished The House of Seven Gables last night and enjoyed it a lot. I'm glad I waited until my 999 challenge was over because it is the kind of book that, for me, benefits from being read leisurely. I loved savoring the language and the philosophic bits as well as the story. I plan to read ...

I finished The House of Seven Gables. And I really loved the ending. Despite my getting bogged down in the middle for a while, it is really a neat story. I think I'm going to skip The Island of Dr. Moreau, as I couldn't get it in unabridged book form, and I don't feel like reading off a ...

Book #50, The House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I finished it! And I LOVED the ending. :-)

... I thought it was about as scary as it gets but now I see that it's a good sinister page-turner. I'm working on finishing The House of the Seven Gables.

from The House of Seven Gables apothegm: a terse, witty instructive saying; a maxim. "...for she had been trying to fathom the profundity and appositeness of this concluding apothegm." (This was the "apothegm" in question: "...Infinity is big enough for us all--and Eternity ...

What is the 1010 Challenge? Here is a site regarding the reported haunting of The House of Seven Gables. It was in the attic area that I felt a presence. http://www.graveaddiction.com/sevengab.html

After all the interesting talk about The House of Seven Gables all over the boards, and your own personal testimony of creepiness, Linda, I'm ready to jump back into that book . . . just as soon as I get through today. (It's going to be a LONG day . . .) I'm thinking that this thread is ...

Hi Amy-Sue, just saw the discussion on The House of the Seven Gables and had to chip in. I took a tour there a few weeks ago and heartily enjoyed it (especially the climbing the hidden staircase!). It is such a great place and the tour was very well done I can see why you would of enjoyed it. I ...

I have to read The House of Seven Gables again soon...

... ***************** This seems like the sort of book that reveals more by multiple readings. I gave it 5 stars. I can pick The House of the Seven Gables back up where I left it now.

I can't say so much that I dislike House of Seven Gables. I think the comments about reading pace are right on. It is a book that requires time to read carefully, and I don't have that right now -- I'm having to read in 5, 10 and 15 minute bursts much of the time. It would be an ...

I will plan to start Dr. Moreau over the weekend. I plan to be finished with Gables no later than Thursday night (more time to read now that my team's baseball season is over!) and hope to slip in Woman in Black Friday (my substitute for Woman in White. I'm looking for The Master and M ...

... bdb! Now I no longer feel so lonely in my appreciation of Hawthorne. :-D One of the reasons I didn't want to start Gables until I finished my 999 was that I wanted to feel I had the time to savor the book and its language. I agree that we need to flex our "delayed gratification" ...

I'm very excited by the talk about The House of the Seven Gables - I'm planning to read it this month for my 999! The good buzz has made me optimistic. :)

... for the good wishes! The book I''m about to post was a great "cleansing the palette" read yesterday. Now it is back to House of Seven Gables for the Halloween read. #199 chris I started keeping track of my reading a couple of years before I found LT because I was trying to read more ...

... for the Halloween group read. So I decided I needed to lighten things up a bit, escape from the dark, dreary confines of The House of Seven Gables and head for the ballpark. From the shelf, I grabbed for a re-read Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?, Jimmy Breslin's classic 1963 account ...

Hawthorne's definitely not my favorite. I suppose I'm in the "can't stand" camp. House of the Seven Gables was alright, but I probably wouldn't read it again. As with the messages above, I didn't get into the characters, and the plot was slow. Hawthorne's sentences were beautiful at times, but on ...

I read The House of Seven Gables for an American Lit course in grad school and was less than impressed. From what I remember it's one of those books that you either love or can't stand; Hawthorne just happens to not be my style.

... The fun is in seeing what different people are reading, and what people liked and didn't like. #23 I'm in the middle of The House of Seven Gables right now, and bogged down a bit (as I indicated on the Halloween thread today). That must have been cool, to work as a guide there. I saw the ...

I've only just started The House of Seven Gables and what is sticking out to me most of all is the really, really long sentences. I don't usually notice things like that, so it doesn't bode well. But I haven't given up because of it yet. Maybe not the encouragement you're looking for...

I'm about halfway through The House of Seven Gables, and finding it rather tedious. Yes, the back story is creepy, but nothing much seems to really be happeing. I don't particularly like these people, or their peculiar hens, or their garden, etc. . . . My reading is slowing to a crawl. (Can ...

... sound like a great way to start the challenge. I think I'm going to look at 1001 list to see what would work. I know The House of the Seven Gables by Nataniel Hawthorne would work. I actually worked there as a tour guide for 6 seasons through high school and college and have never read ...

... Rye. I have been following the October scary reads thread (that's not exactly the right name) and remembering Dracula, House of Seven Gables, etc. I didn't feel like rereading those, so I just finished Odd Hours by Dean Koontz, which I really enjoyed. Best wishes to you and Chrissy. C ...

The House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

... newspaper clippings, telegrams, etc. I can't believe that I had never read this classic before. :) I also got a copy of The House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne, which I have also never read and hope to read it during this October, also. --BJ

... Tales of Edgar Allan Poe just recently and didn't have to start with them. I finished Wood Wife and am half done with The House of Seven Gables which I hope to finish this weekend, also. I think I will slip in Woman in Black after that because I got it from the library and will have to ...

... out ahead of me on the list! I hope to get a review for The Wood Wife out by tomorrow and finish up, or get close, on The House of Seven Gables this weekend.

Not sure how I managed it (brain fart, no doubt), but I read The Island of Dr. Moreau before The House of Seven Gables. Unimpressed with TIODM. I plan to get to The Wood Wife this weekend when I have a little more time to read.

Finished The Wood Wife and have started The House of Seven Gables. WW will make the favorites for the year. HOpefully a review this weekend. I am also lloking forward to reading TadAd's review, which I've avioded until I could finish. Loving HSG so far. "God will give him blood to drink."

I finished Dracula, read a little Poe, and am now into House of Seven Gables, while also reading The Graveyard Book, which isn't on the list but seems kind of appropriate.

I'm almost halfway through The House of the Seven Gables. I agree, MusicMom, the backstory is spooky. I'm sorta waiting for him to get on with the rest of the scary stuff-I know it's there. Regardless, I enjoy Hawthorne's style. I'm having trouble with The Island of Dr. Moreau. I like the ...

I finished Wood Wife last night but probably won't get the review done until the end of the week. I started The House of Seven Gables--this one seems really good so far. I can see why The Scarlet Letter is considered his masterpiece. I really like that one, but i think this one is going to ...

I finished up The House of Seven Gables a few days ago and have been eagerly awaiting others to jump in! Here's what I posted in my thread on it: "Finished this one up from blackdogbooks' October reading list. It's a great morality tale - all about the decay of a New England family brought on ...

... as recently as last year. I plan to read The Moonstone instead--but may not get to it until November. I'm going to read The House of Seven Gables and The Island of Dr. Moreau. I have a couple of my own choices I hope to get to, but I also have an ER book I got this month (from the August ...

... that was really fun, quite faithful to Stoker. Finished The Island of Dr. Moreau. That was great. I was going to start House of the Seven Gables, but stumbled across Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. What a kick.

81. The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hwthorne Finished this one up from blackdogbooks' October reading list. It's a great morality tale - all about the decay of a New England family brought on by the sins of the patriarch, how those original events are mirrored in a subsequent ...

Yes, I am reading Dracula with the group and I'll be following along with them on another book or two. I started The House of the Seven Gables on my own around the same time. I'm glad to have helped you out with some suggestions and thanks for checking my thread. It seems like I was on a roll ...

I got my hands on a hard-copy book to finish Dracula, and also some Poe and the House of Seven Gables. The Woman in White and Fear (that touchstone hardly ever works) came in from the county library, so I'm in good shape for the Halloween read. It looks like I'm not going to get to read C ...

I'm in New England in a House of Seven Gables.

Me too. I'm also juggling The House of the Seven Gables, Dracula, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde and Trick or Treat Murder. I've had to start my October reading early because I'll be away from home for much of the month.

... and The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe. Other books to follow may include Shutter Island, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The House of the Seven Gables and The Ghost.
