Thanks for the recommendation!
@JaneGS...@Karen K. Thanks for the recommendation! <br /><br />@JaneGS: That must be why it's not as well known as his other plays.<br /><br />@BooksandReviews: I may have to read Chaucer's version later on.<br /><br />@Caroline Helstone: Now I'm more eager to read it. I've heard great things of PG Wodehouse too but he's another I've yet to discover.<br /><br />@Teresa: I think I can say it's become my favorite novel, so complex and fascinating! I'm still on <i>No More Parade's</i> haven't been reading as much the past couple days.Katherine Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257141301467724458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482831074289368956.post-3235078667581104072012-08-27T07:02:29.428-07:002012-08-27T07:02:29.428-07:00@Martina: Thanks very much! :)

It has the same satire, I found it hilarious. Very different than Brideshead which I found very sad.

I read it without knowing anything about it, and it surprised me by its cynicism. I'll be interesting in reading your reaction to the play.<br /><br />Enjoy your new books!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482831074289368956.post-29033499086241097152012-08-20T19:19:17.370-07:002012-08-20T19:19:17.370-07:00I haven't heard about Troilus and Cressida bef...I haven't heard about Troilus and Cressida before, is it another tragedy?<br /><br />Tender Is the Night and The Mill on the Floss are two books I've been longing to read, can't wait to read your reviews on them!Fandahttp://klasikfanda.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482831074289368956.post-82320818464983095852012-08-20T06:39:49.966-07:002012-08-20T06:39:49.966-07:00I completely agree with Maggie Smith playing that ...I completely agree with Maggie Smith playing that character although I have not read the book. <br /><br />Two years ago I read Troilus and Cressida, but Chaucer's version, obviously translated to modern English!

I think...lol I read Scoop 5 years ago and loved it. I think Evelyn Waugh is overremembered as the author of Brideshead Revisited, in his time he was actually known as a major satirist on the same rank as PG Wodehouse. One of my favourites is Black Mischief, unfortunately now it's perceived as racist. It does have many stereotypes but it stereotypes every single nationality (including the English) so I don't think that's a big deal. It's hard to get at major bookstores, I got mine at a secondhand book sale for a fraction of the price. I also recommend his war novels featuring Guy Crouchback.Caroline Helstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922512642158974870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482831074289368956.post-89994676289872923382012-08-19T23:16:06.914-07:002012-08-19T23:16:06.914-07:00I've read Parade's End and it's very g...I've read Parade's End and it's very good!
