Far from the madding porch...

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intro-Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

When Farmer Oak smiled, the corners of his mouth spread till they were within an unimportant distance of his ears, his eyes were reduced to chinks, and diverging wrinkles appeared round them, extending upon his countenance like the rays in a rudimentary sketch of the rising sun.

What do you think, continue reading or pass?

I have been enjoying some classic books lately. I read this years and years ago and remember how much I loved it. I plan on reading this soon. I am visiting my southern living children for the next two months. I already feel like I am falling behind on my reading, blogging and sleeping. Busy kids...
Reading The Precious One by Marrissa de Los Santos, listening to The Shipping News by Annie Proulx, watching season two of Orange is the New Black.

  1. I like the writing. I have never read anything by Thomas Hardy before. I enjoy classics now and then. Some of my all time favorite books are counted among them.
