]Remains of the Day!
Ishiguro’s writing is excellent ?
Its such an unsatisfying ending too! I felt like I wanted to shake him!
@Florence ? that’s how I felt too.
Never Let Me Go
It’s a slow burner that book, so good though but takes a few chapters to really get into. Love Ishiguro’a writing.
@Sean I didn’t love it when I first finished it years ago, but it still haunts my thoughts even now.
Thomas Hardy novels..
On the road by Kerouac. I loved this books but spent so long thinking about why I did , I’m still not sure ?
Gone with the Wind
Yes I started out by not knowing if I would even like it then loved it so much I found The Sequel.
Awesome ?
Same for me but The Sequel wasn’t as good for me.
@Marie yea I know but I still enjoyed it
