Yep, one of my favorite movies, too! Have any of you read Sally Beauman’s Rebecca’s Tale? It tells Rebecca’s story. I really enjoyed it and I’ve read several of her other books that are really good also.
Peyton Place! Have you read the sequel? That was interesting too I called my last college campus Peyton Place. On the surface it was this bright, shiny, perfect little academic community (small community college). Under the surface it was scandal city
No! I haven’t read the sequel! I was pleasantly surprised by Peyton Place – even though all kinds of horrible things happen, the ending is upbeat and hopeful.
The picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde. The stranger by Albert Camus. The catcher in the rye by J. D. Salinger. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Brave New world by Albous Huxley. 1984 by George Orwell. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre. Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Othello and Mecbeth by William Shakespeare. Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. Ect.
Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass, The Indian in the Cupboard, Tuck Everlasting, The Giver, Black Beauty, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Secret Garden, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Phantom of The Opera…couldn’t pick, I like them all
Probably The Woman in White, but I also loved and re-discovered old French crime novels by Gaston Leroux and his detective Rouletabille (Le nystère de la chambre jaune)
It surely has to be read attentively. But I like its being “chopped up” into many shorter pieces (diaries and letters and reports). The length as such is not a problem. You can pause anytime. You should be prepared for deep emotions, malevolent plotting, and numerous voices contradicting each other. I thought it was fascinating! Wilkie Collins is said to have “invented” or prepared the modern detective novel.

I really want to read it one day. There is a musical in German about it and since I have first seen it I’ve always been fascinated with the story?
Wow! I can’t imagine Rebecca being a musical.
@Ann yeah I really liked the songs. But I’m into that kind of music anyway
Mine too!!
@Seraina –Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Rebecca from 1940, also.

I read that in college, I didn’t think anyone else read it.
Probably The Woman in White, but I also loved and re-discovered old French crime novels by Gaston Leroux and his detective Rouletabille (Le nystère de la chambre jaune)
I have been meaning to read The Woman in White for ages, but have felt intimidated by the books size. Is it really good?
It surely has to be read attentively. But I like its being “chopped up” into many shorter pieces (diaries and letters and reports). The length as such is not a problem. You can pause anytime.
