I've wanted to tackle "Tristram Shandy" ever since Dorothy recommended it to me. And "The Turn of the Screw"...I read that for Carl's Autumn reading challenge, and it's probably the hardest book I've ever read in my life! It's very ambiguous--so much so that, for me, it was infuriating--and James's prose style doesn't make things any easier. That's not to say that it was bad, it's just...that book...I'm so ambivalent towards it. Best of luck with "Doctor Faustus." I admit, it's intimidating and I haven't yet been ready to tackle it--I've read bits and pieces--so I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it. As for "Paradise Lost," it's one of my favorite poems! Satan is a great character and it's very thought-provoking, especially considering Milton's insights into the human mind--"The mind is its own place, and in itself / Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." That's my favorite passage. And what's even more amazing is that Milton was completely blind when he composed "Paradise Lost."<br /><br />I could talk about "Paradise Lost" till I'm blue in the face. I should stop. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-62037026646059386262007-01-01T19:14:00.000-05:002007-01-01T19:14:00.000-05:00Happy new year!

Lots of good stuff there -- I'm pleased that you and Stefanie plan on reading Tristram Shandy and Robinson Crusoe, and I love A Sentimental Journey too. And Buddenbrooks!
