Last post by vers la flamme - Today at 02:37:30 PMQuote from: Jo498 on Today at 10:52:44 AMThat's a rather bad spoiler! The Moonstone should still be quite entertaining because of the way it is told and the characters. "The Woman in White" might be even better if you like that kind of stuff.
I think the oddest "spoiler" I ever encountered happened to me by reading Fforde's "The Eyre Affair" before ever having read Jane Eyre (I think I had seen a movie but long before, and I am not even sure of that). Not to spoil anyone for either book, I'll say no more (only that the second book of Fforde's series was already so mediocre that I never bothered with any of the others but the Eyre Affair is pretty good, but probably better if one has read Jane Eyre...
Can't wait to read The Woman in White, as well... I'll make sure to read neither introduction, nor back of book, nor anything else before reading the book proper.
One thing I will say about Wilkie Collins, is that his use of multiple narrators is very effective, and seems quite modern. The narrator of the second part is very annoying; I'm almost reminded of the kind of characters that Nabokov has narrate his books

Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 12:51:09 PMMore rapturous music by Riisager. The jocular ballet Benzin is the main attraction on this CD and also includes other two orchestral works: Archaeopteryx and Til Apollon, Lysets Gud, and something interesting to notice is the huge contrast of mood between the former and the two latter. Riisager also had skills to compose some pretty dark, ominous, menacing music as heard in those two aforementioned pieces. Another smashing hit of a disc.
