Re: Mm, Doré's engravings are gorgeous. ajah Send a noteboard - 02/10/2010 09:42:37 PM
I have a copy of Paradise Lost, in wide A4 size (ish), with Doré's engravings as illustrations throughout. So beautiful.

It's still in NZ, though.

But I've got a similar version of The Divine Comedy over here. Husbands are very nice people.


You are a lucky woman.

Well, have you seen any of the Austen TV/movie adaptations, then? Legolas - 30/09/2010 10:25:58 PM 908 Views
Oh yes. I even made the mistake of purchasing the new Pride and Prejudice for her. StormCrow - 01/10/2010 12:10:05 AM 899 Views

I really need to read Kundera. I've heard nothing but praise for Unbearable Lightness. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/09/2010 08:46:18 PM 507 Views
I could post you over a copy to borrow. Rebekah - 30/09/2010 08:58:08 PM 738 Views
That is very kind, but I have far too much to do to read non-school books, unfortunately. Ghavrel - 30/09/2010 10:53:23 PM 826 Views
It is good. *NM* Camilla - 30/09/2010 09:34:47 PM 372 Views
Haven't read any other Kundera, but yes, that one is very enjoyable. *NM* Legolas - 30/09/2010 09:50:30 PM 501 Views
I found his other books to be pale copies of The Unbearable Lightness of Being. *NM* Tom - 30/09/2010 10:51:55 PM 531 Views
