Just finished Castle Rackrent. An excellent novel from the very late 18th century, quite modern with not one but two unreliable narrators and a text which includes commentary on itself.
I forgot to comment. Some weeks ago I left a link for Paradise Lost. That title did not convinced me fully about fitting this category. So, after resisting Middlemarch for quite some time, I finally relented. I've loved every single minute of this novel I listened to in a wonderful audio.
I read Helen MacInnes's Assignment in Brittany. I had never heard of the author and was surprised to find out how popular she used to be. I'm planning to read some more of her books.
Just added my first book for the year. Good to have a few days holiday to kick start my reading.
