Spunge42:
I only managed a few chapters of Armadale, because the print was really small and faint. I've lost my good glasses and I was getting a headache trying to stumble through. I'll have to try again when I get my new glasses in September. I love Wilkie Collins too, though! I've read The Moonstone and The Woman in White - both superb. :heart:

Today's read was Brothers Grimm:

Observations - I love reading about evil women villains and witches. So far I read Hansel and Gretel, Little Redcape, Rapunzel, Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty), and Snow White. In this edition Rapunzel gets pregnant during the Prince's visit, and she has twins. I recall Sleeping Beauty getting raped while asleep and having twins, but it didn't happen in this version. Snow White's evil stepmother is forced to dance in burning hot slippers until she dies. The wolf has his stomach cut open with scissors to rescue Little Red. Hansel and Gretel's mother is a psychopath.

Ham On Rye, by Charles Bukowski.

Perhaps Bukowski's most autobiographical work of fiction, telling the story of his regular anti-hero, Henry Chinaski and his painful, lonely childhood, raised by a monster of a father. Emotionally not always an easy read, but hard to put down, just the same.
