Hi Peder, Thanks so much for your reply; Yes, this will be my third attempt at reading SHIRLEY by CHARLOTTE BRONTE!! I'm finding it a little bit slow and tedious at the moment! Kindest Regards, fiedler

I've just started reading the SHERLOCK HOLMES Stories, by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, again!

Well I preferred JANE EYRE to WUTHERING HEIGHTS; mainly because I found the latter to be a little too bleak, black, and cruel, for my liking!

Well WUTHERING HEIGHTS does have a lot of sadness in it, but it's also what I would describe as quite a "dark" story, as well.

Once again: THE WOMAN IN WHITE by WILKIE COLLINS is a brilliant book!

I think that in most cases, movies do ruin books!

Well at the moment, I'm listening to THE CARTER FAMILY: The Original Carter Family: One of America's earliest Folk and Country Music groups: excellent stuff! They started recording their music in 1929; It really is worth a listen!

readingomnivore: You're amazing!! Keep up your excellent work!

A wonderful and most excellent story, indeed! I loved it!!

I can't seem to find the Bronte sisters mentioned, anywhere on this Forum, so I started this thread. I've read JANE EYRE, which was excellent, and soon I'll be reading her other 3 novels. I've also read WUTHERING HEIGHTS by her sister Emily. Has anyone else read Charlotte Bronte's books...

My favourite author; but I can understand that his stories may not be everyone's "cup of tea"! Douglas

Yes, I've read CALL FOR THE DEAD; A MURDER OF QUALITY; THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD; and THE LOOKING-GLASS WAR. I'm now reading his 5th novel: A SMALL TOWN IN GERMANY. I've got his entire collection (all 23 fiction novels) and I'm working my way through them in chronological order. An...

Yes, excellent work, direstraits!

Hello, readsalot, Will do, and thanks so much for that; it sounds interesting! Thank you! fiedler

I'm sorry, readsalot, but I don't know most of the authors you mentioned but I do believe the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys stories were very good. I'm a fan of Agatha Christie's stories, but I've only read a couple of her stories so far. You'll have to excuse my reading tastes as I'm probably a...

Yes, which Mystery books do you like reading, readsalot?

Hello readsalot, Thanks so much for your comments. Yes, well I must say that WUTHERING HEIGHTS is quite a dark and even morbid story, and I certainly won't be reading it again in the near future. I actually thought that Emily Bronte's older sister Charlotte wrote a better story in JANE EYRE...

Hi Conscious Bob, How are you? Thank you so much for your reply and for your welcome. It's nice to be here. Kindest Regards, fiedler

For me, it's Arthur Conan Doyle, followed closely by John Le Carre.

Hello, It's good to be part of these wonderful Book & Reader's Forums. At the moment, I'm working my way through all 22 of John Le Carre's books, in chronological order. I've read CALL FOR THE DEAD and A MURDER OF QUALITY, and now I'm starting THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD. I've...
