Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:09:13 +0000 http://blog.booklistonline.com/?p=2795#comment-376430 I spent this past winter re-reading Trollope, and despite his haste and sloppiness he remains one of my favorite authors. I ordered several of his books for our library to complete the Palliser and Barsetshire series, in the hopes that another reader would pick them up and want to read every single one.
Trollope is so vibrant and personal! I’m sick to death of the so careful Iowa/Breadloaf school of writing where you can feel how every sentence has been massaged. Thank you for sending this along; it made me feel that the world is not quite as mad as it seems.

This book is more than 800 pages, yet I could not put it down. I am now a Trollope convert and look forward to reading more of his novels.
