'God's Grammar'. Never heard of it before, bought it just because of the title. Wasn't bad.
I will re-read Sons and Lovers in December and I have always wanted to read Cold Comfort Farm. If you let me know when you decide to read it, I might tag along.Originally Posted by bouquin

Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim. Had already heard about the book, but nothing more than that. When reading the book flap in the store, I simply decided to buy it. Seems an interesting story, I certainly appreciated Heart of Darkness, so why not this one
