I have always loved classics. In our international book club, I always said we read at least one classic book a year. Though there were some who would not have wanted it, in the end they enjoyed some of them, as well.<br /><br />I had never heard of Fra Hubbard before, nor have I watched the movies. I think my husband got it from a colleague who distributed it in the office or something.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-37077511386721921722020-11-25T23:05:47.230+01:002020-11-25T23:05:47.230+01:00I'm so thrilled you discovered The Classics Cl...I'm so thrilled you discovered The Classics Club thanks to me!<br />Enjoy your spin #25, I had actually never heard of this author, and haven't even seen the movies based on that bookEmma at Words And Peace / France Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426924864218623976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-69532498226418513222020-11-25T12:40:18.232+01:002020-11-25T12:40:18.232+01:00I loved how you commented on many of my books on t...I loved how you commented on many of my books on the list and will go back to it when I am reading those.<br /><i>Sandition</i>, the series is still on my TBW (to be watched) list, I love classic adaptations on TV. And it has so many great cast members. Of course, since the book already has no end, they couldn't go on writing more than that one end.<br /><i>Christie</i>. Same as you, I haven't read much by her but I have started the Poirot book. I'm just reading one short story at the time. Maybe I'll finish in 2021. ����<br /><i>Fra Hubbard</i>. A very, very short story. But I'm also reading <i>Karl Marx</i>, so I should be alright with the time-frame. A similar problem to your Stendhal, thick and very small print. And you might be right there, an e-book is better for the size but I still can't get used to it.<br /><i>Daisy Miller</i> is a nice read, it you love <i>Henry James</i>, you will certainly like it.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-50135894076234254642020-11-24T12:31:40.407+01:002020-11-24T12:31:40.407+01:00Interesting and varied list.

I should also read the book of course.<br />Goethe, Gogol and Mann are favourites, Christie as well. Funny enough I have hardly read anything by her, just seen a lot of TV and film adaptations. <br />I have read The Good Soldier by Ford Maddox Ford which I liked. <br />"The Story of the Other Wise Man" by Van Dyke, Henry, sounds like something I would like. Good luck with your spin, which I now know is Hubbard, Fra Elbert "A Message to Garcia". I got Jung's Die Beziehungen zwischen dem Ich und dem Unbewußten. Not the easiest but it has been on my TBR list for a very long time. And it is a thin book. <br />Love Henry James, but have not read Daisy Miller yet. I have Stendhal on my shelves, always wanted to read it. However, every time I take it out of the shelf it is sooo thick and has such small characters. I should have read it when I was younger. Or I might just download it. An e-book has better options when it comes to letter sizes.
