Wonderful conversations between Kafka and a young man he mentored. Very interesting if you like eastern European literature circa early 1900.

If I had 3 wishes, one would be to bring back Edith Wharton so that she could keep writing novels for me to read for the rest of my life.
The Custom of the Country was terrific, tragi-comic. It portrays a protagonist/antagonist that you love to hate. Beautiful Undine leaves a trail of heartbreak and destruction in her wake, and is totally oblivious to what she does.
Read it if you get the chance!

A Handful of Dust is a great read. A real page-turner: very funny and very tragic.

As a big fan of Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter triogy I was really looking forward to reading "Jenny". It is not of epic proportions. It's a sad story, set in more contemporary times.
