Fallen Women

Fallen women rule our life. Only a day after I had finished Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Toño got himself Flaubert's Madame Bovary.



While my Russian is far too poor to read the great classics, Toño can actually enjoy his book in its original language.

By the way, did you know that Flaubert was duelling Victor Hugo with his Madame Bovary? Read about.

Do you know Nathaniel Hawthornes
'The Scarlett Letter'?
This would also go well into this line of literature that Toño and you are currently enjoying!It's one of the few books that I read more then once.

I'm so jealous, my mother told me reading would get me further along but I never believed her....damn I wish I would have learned how to read now!

Bravo to you for reading such books!
