I have watched The Phantom of the Opera as a musical in London, but have not yet read the original novel. It sounds interesting.

^ I agree with Hoyun up there fully.
I vaguely recall you explaining Imperial Woman to us during our 1st meeting, as well... I'd like to check that out.

In fact, Lolita sounds like a pretty good book for us to get into. Let me ask our group members about that.
(I adore Dorian Gray as well)

thank you SO much for your suggestions. your taste in literature is bomb.
