I confess I am quited daunted by its sheer size, so it's comforting to know that the story is so engaging as to render the length a non-issue. This makes me even more excited to read it!<br /><br />I, too, have been wanting to read more Gothic fiction as a result of Northanger Abbey. I did read Radcliffe's The Romance of the Forest for a Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717233037560933311.post-11100187322813575312012-03-19T17:20:03.558-06:002012-03-19T17:20:03.558-06:00I hope you enjoy Gone with the Wind.

It actually reads really fast, especially if you've seen the movie half a dozen times first like me :)<br /><br />I'm interested in hearing what you think of The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Castle of Otranto when you get to them. I've been wanting to read them ever since I read Northanger Abbey.<br /><br />Kaylahttp://allthethingssheread.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717233037560933311.post-92231382440750336062012-03-19T15:33:09.046-06:002012-03-19T15:33:09.046-06:00Preethi: I answered your questions on my Magical 1...Preethi: I answered your questions on my Magical 11 post.

I spent 4 years living in England with my family (husband, two daughters), and my older daughter plans to return for a year as part of her university studies (not until 2013 though). I would return in a hearbeat! I'm adding you to my Google Reader and look forward to reading classics with you.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219439074687598827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717233037560933311.post-62200049361348656632012-03-16T05:42:04.720-06:002012-03-16T05:42:04.720-06:00I love that you named your baby (at least in part)...I love that you named your baby (at least in part) after Nathaniel Hawthorne. I've harboured an obsession with naming pets after book characters since I was a child, so I wouldn't be surprised if this habit followed me into parenthood. I'm excited to see what you and your husband will name the new baby...though you've plenty of time to think about it. :)<br /><br />And thank you Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717233037560933311.post-91502919963537388412012-03-15T18:47:36.071-06:002012-03-15T18:47:36.071-06:00What a fun idea!

And I love Hawthorne (in fact, he's one of a few inspirations for our son's name) - you'll have to let me know how you feel about him.<br /><br />Oh, and to answer your question about the shoes - I'd say about 70% on the comfort scale. They're pretty tall, so even though they're wedges, they sometimes rub on my toes at the opening.

And thank you for establishing this fabulous literary club.<br /><br />You should know that my desire to read Gone With the Wind (and its subsequent inclusion on The List) is entirely due to your enthusiasm for it.

I had trouble narrowing mine down, too. But really, how great will it be to have read all these in just a few years. Then we can make another list! :D<br /><br />PS - GONE WITH THE WIND!!!!<br /><br />(And The Mysteries of Udolpho.)<br /><br />:)*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.com
