This sounds truly awful, and very much of its time - so, for that, a valuable contribution to the club!Simon T (StuckinaBook)http://www.stuckinabook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-28646386003536418002021-10-18T07:42:28.531-04:002021-10-18T07:42:28.531-04:00Well, I didn't know about the rest of his care...Well, I didn't know about the rest of his career!

I read quite a few of his books in my teens, but I don't know if I'd enjoy rereading him (all the cliches and the stilted repetitive writing would probably drive me crazy!).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your France trip with us!Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-33953261233685585882021-10-14T05:29:24.609-04:002021-10-14T05:29:24.609-04:00Not for me I think.

I don't always go by what other bloggers think as we all have different tastes, but that list of tropes is so off-putting I wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole.
