I WILL read it regardless! <br /><br />Your comment reminded me that I never posted about The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, but I read in a couple months ago loved it. In fact, it's my favorite Bronte novel yet and is the reason Agnes Grey landed in the first group.<br /><br />I haven't read The Pearl since high school and, although I didn't hate it, it was not a favorite. I'm hoping for an experience similar to my reread of The Old Man and the Sea.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-7221722184059857012013-02-17T10:21:53.642-05:002013-02-17T10:21:53.642-05:00Thomas - You're right, An American Tragedy is ...Thomas - You're right, An American Tragedy is based on a crime that took place in the Adirondacks.
