A bit off topic, but I also don’t understand how anyone could like Thomas Hardy. Admire his writing, definitely, but to me, enjoying Hardy is like claiming to enjoy a toothache. |
Zen was a good read for the philosophy. Rose I greatly enjoyed. But the rest of hs stuff is dull. I agree Hardy is a bore.
