I loved Far from the Madding Crowd but only because I saw the film. Eye candy for us ladies with a lovely young Terence Stamp and a hunky young Alan Bates...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

I have read Tess 3 times and my OH has banned me from reading it again as it swings from happy to sad/happy to sad etc. and my mood swings with it, but the descriptive parts are so wonderful I just love it.

But do you like Kipling?.....
Not sure about the books, but nice cakes
I noticed walking my dog the willows are turning as are the blackthorn bushes.
Hawthorn are laden with haws and blackberry bushes so laden with fruit even the birds have had enough (I've got 12lbs in the freezer)
And it's getting dark way to early

I love Thomas Hardy's work,both novels and poetry. 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' is an immense book and his poem 'The Darkling Thrush'.
Yes Kipling's Bramley apple pies
Seriously though...Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If' is often voted the nation's favourite poem.
hmmmm
