Date: 2008-06-25 05:01 (UTC)I carried Vanity Fair in my backpack through Europe when I was 21 years old and read that everywhere I travelled that year. I just found it a great book to sink into and escape in. The language and descrip is masterful. And SHE...just a wonderful character. Really the most amazing anti-heroine...
I finished that book and traded it for other books on that trip. Travellers did that in those days at youth hostels. I forget what I got for that one. Hmm. Might have been a Milan Kundera book. We swapped out things. Very fun to do that.
So I have real memories of that book. Don't know what possessed me to TRAVEL with that HUGE book. It really was a weight to carry. Huh.
