I started War and Peace, but put it aside to read other things. It will be my main classic for the summer. I'm so determined to read it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-75471383430440732982014-05-13T19:56:03.502-05:002014-05-13T19:56:03.502-05:00Bingo! :)Bingo! :)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113180708896008365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-35144709475040918982014-05-13T19:12:31.852-05:002014-05-13T19:12:31.852-05:00When you finish Bleak House you will have #5 for y...When you finish Bleak House you will have #5 for your list. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147682529489245099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-54011565420476236822014-05-13T10:13:16.430-05:002014-05-13T10:13:16.430-05:00Good luck with War and Peace!

This summer I am going to attempt War and Peace for the first time. <br /><br />Some books I struggled through were Mrs. Dalloway, The Return of the Native, and Heart of Darkness. The first two were only painful in the beginning, but once I got through the first chapters, I ended up appreciating them. Heart of Darkness was not like either of those. That's another story!Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-28677601984473068232014-05-13T09:28:59.321-05:002014-05-13T09:28:59.321-05:00Bleak House I actually did put down, along with Ol...Bleak House I actually did put down, along with Old Curiosity Shop.

But I love it so much. I want to read Moby Dick, but haven't yet.<br /><br />I had trouble with House of Mirth.
