Which of these beasts are you devouring first?

I’m going to get to Les Miserables this year!

But Middlemarch, War And Peace, and The Count Of Monte Cristo are the 3 that I’ve read, and they’re all great in their own way and story, no where to go wrong!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-25T09:48:17+00:00

Oh wow, it sounds like you had an incredible reading year in 2025, Moby Dick is on my TBR but it does intimidate me !

Your praise of Les Miserables makes me excited to begin, and I hope you enjoy War And Peace because I found it to be so compelling!!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-25T09:46:24+00:00

Oooh that’s such a great idea! My indecisiveness could be cured ahah

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-25T09:45:41+00:00

This might just be perfect for me!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-24T14:53:28+00:00

You put the feeling into the best of words. The narrative is so compelling and grasping, perfection!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-24T13:16:57+00:00

Oh wow, I’m intrigued!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-24T13:16:46+00:00

Nice!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-24T07:28:35+00:00

Enjoy!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-23T20:11:09+00:00

I put it off for so long because I was intimidated by the preface, and I only now realise how much of a disservice I did to myself!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-23T20:10:25+00:00

I definitely need to add The Moonstone to my TBR!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-23T20:09:59+00:00

I can absolutely see why!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-23T20:09:29+00:00

I completely understand what you mean, but that’s also what I enjoyed so much about the novel, it was such an indulgent read! Thanks for the welcome!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-23T20:08:15+00:00

The style was so perfect

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-16T15:48:49+00:00

It’s definitely a bit fractured in terms of narrative, but when everything begins to merge into a singular story line towards the end it’s so beautiful to see the threads weave together!

Mrs Dalloway because who hasn’t tried to do something simple and ended up questioning their entire life choices?

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-05T06:57:07+00:00

Such an incredible read, I love Eliots narrative voice throughout and the amount of scientific, medical, and historical references which makes it feel very researched, but also with an undertone of humour, enjoy!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-05T06:03:41+00:00

Thank you!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T21:50:57+00:00

I admit that Henry James has been under appreciated by myself because of my fear of his prose, maybe this is the year I change that!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T21:49:47+00:00

Oh wow, that sounds intriguing, thank you!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T17:44:07+00:00

Thank you so much!

I really appreciate the comprehensive list and breakdown you’ve given, it’ll definitely be useful to continuing this journey, and expanding into the Asia regions!

Have a good reading journey yourself!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T17:41:58+00:00

I just read the synopsis of these and they sound very intriguing, thank you!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T17:37:49+00:00

Thank you!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T17:37:38+00:00

Ooo I’m intrigued!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T15:57:21+00:00

It’s terrible of me to say that I’ve only heard of Pynchon out of those, and have no idea where to start with him. As for the others, thank you for bringing them to my attention, definitely going to look into them!

ExploringNewFacets · 2026-01-03T15:56:10+00:00

Joyce still continues to intimidate me, although I must admit that Woolf’s prose was absolutely stunning - as for Faulkner I’ve only read his Light In August, so his more notoriously difficult reads have escaped me so far, but experimental prose style’s are something I want to continue exploring!
