Tom Brown's School Days

Thomas Hughe
Lars HoelLars Hoel

@creator_grimm Depends on the work, of course. Currently reading Tom Brown’s School Days by Thomas Hughes, originally published in 1857. Most of the prose is quite readable, but there are some allusions and archaic terms that require the reader to have a reference work handy.

The Uncommon Reader: A Novella

Alan Bennett
Lars HoelLars Hoel

Just finished my book club’s next selection, The Uncommon Reader, by Alan Bennett. It’s about the power and magic of reading as well as the irresistible pull of writing. Short book (a novella, really); I wish it had gone on longer. Highly recommend. #BWG
