I don't expect to "enjoy" Heart of Darkness either . . . It's not exactly a "for pleasure" book. The Great Gatsby is one of those books that is useful for pointing out the emptiness of life without God. And I agree about the gorgeous language in both--the mastery of the English language in these classic novels leaves me in awe. And for Conrad it wasn't even his native language!<br />Thanks so much for dropping by my blog. :-) Jill Stenglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218641704241875981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042906330277492765.post-89142504701668384432014-06-21T03:24:40.301-07:002014-06-21T03:24:40.301-07:00I remember Mum reading "Eight Cousins" t...I remember Mum reading "Eight Cousins" to me when I was a fair bit younger. I really enjoyed that one. I must say, I have never liked "Heart Of Darkness" - I have had to read it twice for school... gorgeous language in it though. I really enjoyed "The Great Gatsby" for the beautiful language, even though the content is absolute rubbish! :)Emily Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793110242720464009noreply@blogger.com
