The Victorians generally disappoint me. I cannot get into their groove. They talk such a lot about so little. :P<BR/><BR/>Have you read Stendahl? It came highly recommended but Armance failed to make an impression. Charterhouse was a lot better. I loved the descriptions of the battle of Waterloo. Everything moves so fast, and yet you pick up such a lot of detail. The alteration in the pace is simply breathtaking.Arijithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962781230877700013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230571352342106146.post-67915489628652828162008-06-20T11:22:00.000-07:002008-06-20T11:22:00.000-07:00I just finished Proust!
