@assemblingaknob I'm not familiar with the second one.

@originnone it's by the same dude. Just some wild fetish about so many men drooling after 1 woman. I just can't fathom it. So exaggerated. Maybe I'm just jealous xD

@assemblingaknob Oddly.....years ago I wanted to read something by Hardy. I decided on either the mayor of caster bridge and the Tess of Deuberville. I picked the second.

@originnone never read Tess. The opening chapter was so boringgggg pffftftttt I hate old times books. My dad says they probably wrote reallyyyyy slow because many times these were published in newspapers and the writers would get paid for each time, so they'd intentionally write lengthy paragraphs xD. But maybe my dad and I just aren't classic lovers and he just made it up.
