It HAS to be Rob Roy, yes it is slow but it is wonderful.
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
yay! a month where Im more or less free except for 2 3000 word essays but still!
I enjoyed ivanhoe but never got past the 3rd chapter of rob roy
I think we should read the pirate though seeing who we are an' all

I've never read Walter Scott, and I have wanted too. Yay, this will be a great opportunity. I don't know yet which to vote for. Several sound great. Maybe i'll be like Papaya and sell my vote at the end.

Rob Roy is a nice movie, so reading it won't be very interesting! Go Ivanhoe!
At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

The novel by Scott has nothing to do with the film, different time period (slightly), characters, storyline. The film was based on other Rob Roy legends.Originally Posted by bazarov

Oh, I see! Then Rob Roy is also OK.

I'm a newbie to Sir Walter Scott as well, and Waverley and The Heart of Mid-Lothian are the only titles that sound somewhat familiar to me, so I go with Waverley.

I've read Ivanhoe and Rob Roy, so I voted for Waverley.BTW why there is no "Quentin Dorvard" in the list?
Come on! The pirate!!!
