I don't know whether I'm just really strict with myself or it's just that I've always had a TBR shelf and worked through it - having my two months of re-reading a year helps me to keep the balance. Also I haven't done a readingy PhD which must have cut down on your new reading for a few years!

I have also had very good surprises with the Hardy Project I've been doing (instigated by Heaven-Ali) - I thought I'd read "The Trumpet Major" because I had it on my shelf, but actually hadn't, and I thought I disliked "Jude the Obscure" but really enjoyed my re-read!LyzzyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398604923871095647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-48214928106093777482014-03-02T11:04:19.006+00:002014-03-02T11:04:19.006+00:00I love that serendipity!

I haven't yet read any Janet Frame although she's yet another of those authors on the I-really-must-check-this-writer-out list! Look forward to hearing what you think of the book.
