I love OUP editions & if a book's available from them, I like to have it. The e-reader is definitely convenient & also great for the very long novels. Victorian Geek's blog is excellent & she's reviewed a lot of Trollopes.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-19659883327586710662012-05-30T18:04:35.778+10:002012-05-30T18:04:35.778+10:00The TV adaptations I've watched are very good ...The TV adaptations I've watched are very good (I still have the Pallisers series to watch) but the books are always better.

I found it at a giant book sale last year so of course I snapped it up. <br /><br />And thanks for the link to Victorian Geek's blog. I was very interested in her Trollope Top 10 and Worst 10. So far I've read the first four of the Barsetshire series, and The Way We Live Now. The Small House at Allington was my next Trollope read, I hope I disagree and think it's wonderful. I have at least a dozen unread Trollopes on my TBR shelf and I'm hoping to read at least one for the Victorian Celebration hosted by Allie at A LIterary Odyssey.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-33216831477848917282012-05-30T00:19:18.855+10:002012-05-30T00:19:18.855+10:00You inspire me to read Trollope!

But you know what it's like. The best laid plans and all that. Now I can see I shall have to fit it in somehow. One of the book groups I belong to is interested in novels of this period that explore the woman's point of view (we've just read 'No Name') I think it had better be my next choice.Alexhttp://thinkinginfragments.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-50841196865781210602012-05-29T08:56:09.105+10:002012-05-29T08:56:09.105+10:00I'm glad that someone else cannot resist havin...I'm glad that someone else cannot resist having 'real' copies of books as well as e-copies for convenience.

I definitely want to read more Trollope. And I'm jealous of your Delphi editions. I'm off to see if they're available in the U.S. I vowed not to buy any ebooks but I think I'd make an exception for Trollope and Edith!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912114716426828436noreply@blogger.com
