I'm pretty much just left with Trollope and as much as I love him, I want to spread them out a little.

First of all, as a 12-year-old, I saw the movie, which captivated me. I so identified with the boy, young man, etc. who did everything he could to become a doctor. I grasped at reading the novel when I was a freshman in high school. I have distinct memories of reading it in study halls, leaving my homework for when I got home. It was so riveting to me, probably because I related so much to this coming of age story.<br />I will also admit that I was a huge fan of A.C. Cronin at the time. At 15 I read his novel about a young Scottish doctor. Oh, help. I will have to search up the title. Good writing. Great characters.

I’m planning on reading E.F. Benson for RIP also. Winter Wheat sounds wonderful—I really enjoy books like that. I imagine it will be hard to find. Happy reading—you have quite a list for the coming months!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-28458574655225085072018-09-03T16:01:05.009-04:002018-09-03T16:01:05.009-04:00You have some really interesting titles lined up t...You have some really interesting titles lined up there. The only ones I have read are the Dorothy Sayers' novels. <br /><br />My plans are much less ambitions, but I definitely want to do the RIP challenge again this year as well as the 1944 club. Like you, I will be taking books from my own shelves if possible. Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.com
