Oh, heavens.

I signed up to Penguin's Blog A Classic. I haven't had the e-mail yet, but I signed in on the site for a poke around & it looks as if I've been assigned this.

Heavens.

I got Eugenie Grandet by Balzac. At least they only say you need to review it not that the review needs to be positive so I'll probably try and write something funny.

I read Eugenie Grandet at university, and quite enjoyed some of the writing itself. I think you have to treat it a bit like science fiction, and abandon yourself to the world of it. I love Balzac most of the time, but found it slightly hard going. He has things to say though!

Well, I'll see how it goes. Thanks.

I got an HG Wells! Hurrah!

Mr Weasel thinks he might have a DH Lawrence. Hahahaha. Boring.

Many people are going to envy for your HG Wells...

It's Love and Mr Lewisham rather than a good sci-fi one. But that's ok because I haven't read it and at least I know it's going to be readable because I have read and loved his better known ones.

At least yours is an actual story, not a book of Roman right-wing polemic!

oher that sounds 'exciting'

I was gonna sign up but by the time I'd read the book and gotten round to reviewing it the company'll be out of business - I'm that slow at reading!!
