The BBC made a drama based on it recently, which you maybe able to still see on BBC iplayer ( web) also it's a kindle book so if you have such a device or their App on phone, computer etc. you can download a free sample.Don't know if it will interest you, but it makes a good read.<br />Parrish@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-49354236192669050192011-01-05T04:03:16.857+08:002011-01-05T04:03:16.857+08:00I am also doing the Victorian Literature one.

There were times when I hated it because of all the old French words no longer in use, and there's so much symbolism and imagery! Definitely a book I want to pick up again-I feel like it's the kind of book you get more out of which each read.<br /><br />Good luck with your challenges!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933950234435601434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-31211112973215419992011-01-04T12:41:59.597+08:002011-01-04T12:41:59.597+08:00The problem with reading challenges?

There are too many good ones! <br /><br />Each of these sounds excellent, and if I may add to the pot a bit, Anna (Diary of an Eccentric) and Serena (Savvy Verse & Wit) are hosting a U.S. Civil War challenge that sounds marvelous as well. :)Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-38785352244509444472011-01-04T11:54:31.484+08:002011-01-04T11:54:31.484+08:00It looks like you're signed up for a lot of gr...It looks like you're signed up for a lot of great challenges.
