these Penguin clasics are gorgeous. i saw them in Borders a couple of months ago. now that i have decided i actually want a couple i am finding out that they really are a limited edition. and which seems to be the most popular? of course my first pick - Wuthering Heights. after calling 5 Borders later and i find a copy. i couldn't not have this Wuthering Heights edition. not only is it my favourite classic, i am pretty sure it might be the only one i have read!* and i'll be reading it again as part of the Bronte-along. at $19 these editions are a steal. i'd love the set, but that would just be because they look so good. instead i have limited myself to ones i will actually read.
Jane Eyre
Sense and Sensibility (so pretty)
Sense and Sensibility (so pretty)
Wuthering Heights (suitably serious cover)
------------------what do i do while trying to distract myself, waiting for Nicholas and David to come home from hospital? read and look at pretty pictures. (not read wikipeadia articles about compression fractures and growth plates, because, well, i don't want to worry myself unnecessarily, right?)
i have started Jane Eyre, which i am quite proud of as i have always felt guilty not to have read it yet. it is my mum's favourite book and she first read it when she was 10!
*(actually i read Tess of the D'Urbervilles in english lit, and watched the depressing Roman Polanski film afterwards.)
