I may be the odd one out, but I really liked Far From the Madding Crowd. I liked the sheep, I liked the character of Gabriel Oak and above all, I loved Thomas Hardys descriptions of the landscapes and the weather. Since I know that a lot of people don´t like his writing style, I´m very pleased by th...
I DNF at 11 percent. I don't hate myself that much to continue to read this. I have no idea what the hell was going on for most of this book. I finally threw in the towel at 11 percent because I couldn't bear to keep reading "Bathsheba" over and over again. This is the worst name I can think of for ...
Sometimes when I'm reading a classic, I don't understand everything or feel the emotions. That wasn't so with this one. Admittedly, I may not be feeling the correct emotions still. I didn't read this in school or study the meaning of anything (I just sped on through) so I may totally be wrong in ...
Farmer Gabriel Oak falls for the pretty, independent-minded and headstrong Miss Bathsheba Everdene pretty much the first time he sees her. He proposes to her, but is rebuffed, as she's unsure if she ever wants to get married. After losing his entire livelihood after one horrible accident, Gabriel ha...
Seeing the trailer of the new film in theaters started a ticking clock in my head that would only be satisfied with my finally reading this, or demanding some movie shill to take my money. My better nature succeeded, thanks to a local movie theater with only one screen and the desire to favor the ch...
Much funnier then I expected. And so, SO much more enjoyable then Jude the Obscure, which I had to read for a college class. I am glad I decided to sit down and read this, because I had been wondering exactly why Hardy was considered one of the greats.
Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy1874 WessexI had seen this movie in the late 60's with my grandparents. Had no idea what it was about but it's a classic. I also ordered the paperback a few months ago and haven't gtten to it. But now I have it on audio so I hope I enjoy it.Quite a different...
And I'm Poor Decision-Making Bathsheba Everdene. I sent a random Valentine to a guy on a neighboring farm asking him to marry me, even though I don't even like him! This turned him into an annoying semi-stalker who spent the next several years harrassing begging me to marry him for reals! And th...
يا إلهي!ما هذا الحب الكريه!!منك لله يا توماس هاردي!!والله منذ أن قرأت روايته الأشهر (تيس أوڤ ذي ديربيرڤلز) وأنا عازم على أن لا أعيد تجربة قراءة توماس هاردي مرة أخرى!ولكن حتى أكون صريحاً، الذي شجعني على قراءة هذه الرواية هو أن الفيلم المبني عليها سوف يصدر خلال الأشهر القادمة، وأيضاً لأن الممثلة التي ...
The book is nearing the end, and although I generally try to avoid expressing an opinion before I finish reading, I have a few thoughts I'd like to share. It is interesting to read about these country practices that I know nothing about, like the work in the fields, the washing of the sheep, shear...
