Pocket, 1990

my favorite book

+ My guilty pleasure

Yes its true, this book is extremely dark and twisted, depressing, gross at certain parts (incest seems to be a common theme V.C.'s books), and just downright disturbing and creepy. But as horrified as you may be while reading it, you also can't but be fascinated at the same time. To even think ...

The Mysteries of Udolpho: real and imagined

+ Ahead of her Time!
+ Like a long and complex dream ...

On one level, this novel defies categorisation. Yes, the Gothic web of mystery and intrigue is obvious. And so too are the beautiful descriptions of nature, the struggle between good and evil, the noble acts of heroism and the ignoble acts of greed. Anne Radcliffe has taken all of these ...

She suffered from post-partum depression and severe anxiety later in life. The title story, ...

Penguin Classics, 2003

This is one of the great books for love, passion and characters.

+ I love this book
+ Even better than I remembered

As I was in the middle of the book, I was so drawn to the characters I felt full. Later there was sadness for awhile. At the end I was full of joy. My feelings were "wow - what a wonderful journey." I loved the two main characters, Edward and Jane, their individual natures, their love for each ...

(Like the curmudgeonly CAT in the COMIC...get it?) Great old-style classic novel. One of Henry Miller's favorites; that's what attracted me to it. I liked the style of the narrative, largely told through the reminiscences of the housekeeper Nelly. This is one dysfunctional family! Like ...

Beloved is a riveting story, a page-turner. It reminds me of The Turn of the Screw in that you are never certain what was real and what wasn't. Do you believe in the supernatural or is it mental distress? Awesome review of slavery every white American should read. But the story is the thing - ...
