DazTheSlug Dec 2014 8:15pm, 22 Dec 2014 563 posts	0 DazTheSlug I have Turn Of The Screw near the top of my "To Read" pile so that would've been good, but I was going to get round to George Eliot at some point and it's in the Guardian 1000 list so I'm in!

Columba Dec 2014 11:23pm, 22 Dec 2014 5,700 posts	0 Columba LOL at Bint, going into labour at Chapter 2 of Mill on the Floss! No. 3 son took a very long time to emerge into the world, and while in labour I read (re-read) the whole of G.K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday, and started The Three Musketeers (again, a re-reading, - a bit hard to concentrate on anything new, with contractions every 8 minutes). Never read either of them since. He's quite a reader himself, so maybe it had an effect. Herald Angel, my mother went through a patch of reading Henry James, and after a while even started talking like him, - which she herself noticed and commented on. I have read The Aspern Papers and The Turn of the Screw, and some other short stories. V.S. Naipaul - I have read A House for Mr. Biswas and The Bend in the River, both of which are much longer than The Mystic Masseur.
Columba Dec 2014 11:24pm, 22 Dec 2014 5,701 posts	0 Columba Off to London tomorrow, probably won't keep up nor post until I get back (29th or 30th). Happy Christmas, happy reading, everyone.
