Ethan Frome and now Flatland

Since my last post I was able to read "Ethan Frome" by Edith Wharton.  What an excellent book!  If you have time please read this book.  It is extremely sad but very well written.  I can now say that I really enjoy reading Edith Wharton.


On the flip side, now that I am done with Ethan Frome, I am next going to tackle "Flatland - A Romance of many dimensions" by Edwin A. Abbott.

Has anyone out there read this classic?  What did you think?

What did you think of Ethan Frome?  I absolutely loved it.

Hunger turned out to be good

Although "Hunger" by Knut Hamsun was kind of hard to digest early on, I found the book to be very good overall.  The ending to me happened abruptly but as it should.  I would not know how to end that type of book any other way.  


I would recommend this book to a lover of classics.
