There is so much less urgency if you read a book on your own without a due date.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994481373241352274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260480230141160735.post-82016137865502706832012-08-24T11:32:08.615-04:002012-08-24T11:32:08.615-04:00I've never heard of this one, but it definitel...I've never heard of this one, but it definitely sounds intriguing after reading this post. Like you, I remember digging into my books for courses in university. The biggest beast of them all: <i>The Mysteries of Udolpho</i> by Ann Radcliffe. I ploughed through that sucker, giving myself little incentives along the way (it was quite the slog). And then after the first day of that class, I ended up dropping it and taking something else. O_o I'm glad I actually read it though, especially given the fact that it influenced so many other authors who came after it. :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.com
