I have read two of his books. He is great with characterization, even if his characters aren't always likeable. I have to be in a certain mood to read his books though because they tend to be a bit heavy.Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-59303510137655782682012-01-18T16:43:07.709-08:002012-01-18T16:43:07.709-08:00You have to give her a try at least once. :-) It always takes me a little bit to settle into her world, but once I do, I am hooked.Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-3147425170781930832012-01-18T16:42:19.424-08:002012-01-18T16:42:19.424-08:00Austen isn't for everyone, that's for sure. For me, I think it was just a matter of timing and age--but I know that isn't--and wouldn't be--the case for everyone.Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-12921627327631571432012-01-18T16:38:17.014-08:002012-01-18T16:38:17.014-08:00Thanks, Heather! Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite novels. One day I hope to read all of Austen's books. I really liked Lippman's book. I understand her stand alones are even better.Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-47828158634641862362012-01-16T14:51:21.199-08:002012-01-16T14:51:21.199-08:00It is wonderful that you have a journal to remind you of your past reading. I wish I had kept my journals where I used to jot down my thoughts about books.Kathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-21952978933834509232012-01-11T17:01:56.781-08:002012-01-11T17:01:56.781-08:00P&P and HP are some of my absolute favorite stories!! I read my first Lippman book last year and so enjoyed it. Now Carter is an author that I have't read...yet!Stacihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-24476343100157764412012-01-10T18:06:25.343-08:002012-01-10T18:06:25.343-08:00Can you believe that I've never read anything by Austen??? Hideous, I know but I'm hoping to fix that this year. I have three of her books downloaded on my e-reader. I just need to read them. As always I love reading your thoughts on books that you read years ago.samantha.1020http://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-56279224178945047962012-01-10T08:13:51.618-08:002012-01-10T08:13:51.618-08:00I read Pride & Prejudice pre-blogging, too. It was mostly pretty good, but not entirely my thing.Kailanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-44593247608140494792012-01-10T06:36:33.928-08:002012-01-10T06:36:33.928-08:00Loved Pride and Prejudice and the Harry Potter books, and I think you did a great job in your observations. I have been wanting to read that Lippman series for a long time now, and think that I may start it this year. I loved reading these book impressions, and thank you for sharing them!Zibileehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
