After seeing the movie Possession, I immediatly bought the book. I have tried on several occasions to get into this book and keep re-shelving it. Good luck

I agree, I tried reading this book several times after I saw the movie. It still sits on my shelf. For me, this is a case of the movie being better than the book.

I have been reading "The Red and the Black" by Stendahl for a 19th Century book club that I belong to. I read about 3 pages and I can't keep my eyes open. Is it the writing or the main character, or both? I have divided the pages by the number of days left before we get together and force myself to read early in the morning when I am most awake!
