As some people may know from previous comments I have made I am to say the least a bit ambivalent about Conrad, I am trying to be good and not judge him based upon just one reading experience, but I had attempted to read Lord Jim and I could not get into the writing and found the story difficult to follow and eventually had to give up on the book.
I have allowed myself to be convinced to give him another chance, but I am in no hurry to revisit Lord Jim again, and I have not very long ago finished reading "The God of Small Things" which makes several references to the Heart of Darkness which roused my intrigue and put me in the mood to attempt this book.
Because of the difficulties I had with Lord Jim and my apprehensions about the author I thought it would be beneficial to me if I could read this book with the support of a discussion group.
So I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a discussion of "The Heart of Darkness?
I plan to start reading the book in August.
