Surprise! I am posting again!

[avrelia]

If you knew how many posts I made up in my mind, and then never wrote down, you would be amazed. Or not. But I can assure you, they were all smart and witty, and thought –provoking. Why then I post only boring stuff, and even that once a week? I should be writing more, you know.
Oh, well.

Does anyone know a poet Walter De La Mare? I liked his poems as a child – in Russian translation, of course. Suddenly I remembered about him, and I am now looking him up in the Internet, even though it is not in any way useful activity.

After one conversation with the_royal_anna I am rereading The Woman in White. First, I’ve read the introduction – the biography of Wilkie Collins, the history of the book, etc. The result? I am shocked. Those naughty Victorians, they don’t exactly fit into proper stereotypes.

::peeps out quickly from under a heap of college work to say::

Oh, now you've made me want to go reread it too. I shall have to hunt it out!

Hey! I've been missed around here!

And yes, please reread it: I thought we have dirty minds - with all the fanfic and stuff, but then I read that Collins possibly implied that Laura, Walter, and Marion by the end of the book lived together - in the threesome sense... That's not what I thought about them before.

Oh, I remember reading The Woman in White. It was actually pretty cool, in a weirdly trashy way. Victorian literature with a twist!

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was cool – and apparently people were just as obsessed about it as, well, we are about other things… Given that it was published as the series of installments first, not as a book, it was as close to TV series as one could get in XIX century. I read it at 12, in Russian, and now I am curious how my perception of the story will be.

I am incredibly late, but I just read your post about Anya from...um, a week ago, don't really have anything to add, except I miss Anya. So much. Sigh.

Oh, I will finish that post, I love Anya, and I wanted to have a deeper look at her story.

Other posts - that I still remember about will follow. Or Anya post will follow them. Depends. ;)
