The one thing I love about Wilkie is that he excels at writing strong female characters. At least he does it in a way that you don’t expect from a man writing in the time that he did. “The Moonstone” is great, and I’m reading “No Name” right now, which is all about a strong female character. She’s not an unattractive spinster either. In fact, she uses her good looks to catch her prey…=)

I bought this after reading Nymeth’s review. I have the audio — but after having just listened to a 46-hour audio, I think I may switch to reading this one.

I really, really, really want to get cracking on a few classics! And this one sounds great. I thought that I would spend this year which is almost over, getting through some of the classics, but no, did I read even one? (yes, in fact I did, but it was a Danish classic). Perhaps 2010 will be better, classic wise?! .-= Louise´s last blog ..NaBloPoMo # 25: Aftermath by Peter Robinson =-.

I loved “the Woman in White.” Wilkie Collins is extremely entertaining I think. I’m looking forward to reading more from him.

This was just a classic review — I loved it! You actually made me want to read a book written in the 1800s by a pasty-faced man with excessive facial hair … and that takes some doing!

I’m still reading this book via Daily Lit. I think I’ll finish up in like July of next year which really does seem like forever from now

I heard about Wilkie several years ago, but I have yet to read his stuff. Bad Andi! If I’d known about the Classics Circuit earlier on I probably would’ve jumped on the bandwagon. As it is, I guess I’ll just have to get off my booty and be proactive.

The book I have just read is about a case that inspired Wilkie Collins! .-= LindyLouMac´s last blog ..The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: or the Murder at Road Hill House by Kate Summerscale =-.
