You wouldn't know if I named it. :) If you've got a map of Missouri look to the extreme southwest corner of the state and you'll see McDonald County--bordering Arkansas on the south and Oklahoma on the west. For the past three years, though, I've lived in Springfield.Quote:

Ahhh....I see. Well, if you're ever down this way, just don't pronounce it Miss-oor-ee. :)
Good God....we've really drifted off the topic!
Haha. Maybe I'll pronounce it "Misery" just to piss people off. :p
What was the topic again? Oh, Return of the Native. Oops, I'd better shut up.
The Return of the Native if my favourite Hardy book. But I've got a question: in the end of the book, both Eustacia and Wildeve die. What could this be considered? Fate, punishment because, even they were married to someone else, they wanted to leave together or posibly eternal love, after death, which they couldn't receive on Earth. What do you think?
I had to read Return of the Native for my A Level course and to begin with I hated it, but it really grew on me and now I love it!! I think it's very well written (almost too well written at times, e.g. the first chapter!!) and it's a classic story. Well worth a read.
