I'm sure I'll get there as I work my way through the series. If I have a choice, I much prefer to read series books in order, even ones that stand alone story wise. I've heard the series gets better and better, so I'll definitely read more. :-)Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-74524211686385627622007-02-09T07:32:00.000-08:002007-02-09T07:32:00.000-08:00I'd strongly recommend that you try <I>Gaudy Night</I>, as it is set in a female college at Oxford (a mileu dear to Sayer's heart) and features the romance between Wimsey and the intrepid Harriet Vane. A Wimsey novel with Harriet in it is much more enjoyable than without- trust me! Reading <I>Gaudy Night</I> made me want to go to university.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10804604643946519169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-36336509409424157042007-02-05T20:21:00.000-08:002007-02-05T20:21:00.000-08:00Aarti - I commented on your blog in response. :-) I look forward to reading your thoughts on other books in the series!<br /><br />Coversgirl - Bunter's a great character! I have and sometimes do read a book out of order, but I really prefer not to. So many of them can stand just fine on their own, of course, but it's just a preference of mine. :-)Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-23760963537259190702007-02-04T05:12:00.000-08:002007-02-04T05:12:00.000-08:00Reading the series in order . . . that's something I keep <I>meaning</I> to do, but whenever I see one in the library that I haven't read, I borrow it regardless of what number it is. I haven't read <I>Whose Body?</I>, but I think I'll have to, to see how the series started. And I do love Bunter!CoversGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01343725194203848055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-15214632721374345622007-02-03T18:35:00.000-08:002007-02-03T18:35:00.000-08:00I had a similar reaction to Whose Body? when I read it last year. From what I heard, Lord Peter was an exceptional man. And he was in this book as well, but I also didn't feel that instant connection with him or the story. However- I have at least the next three in the series on my shelf so eventually I might journey back to Edwardian England and go a bit further, if my Wimsey takes me there!<br /><br />As for the What Book Are You? quiz, did you find it to be very true for yourself as well? I was pretty surprised, really. I shall have to read Catch-22 :-)Aartihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.com
