It's been a while. I'm glad you're still reading, and look forward to your writing. I've recently read an excellent book, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which I think is quite unique, accessible philosophy. Glad to have you back in the blogosphere. It’s been a while.

Yes, it was very different for women during Gaskell's time. Sadly, in parts of the world today, things can be even worse. Roop, thanks for the comment.

If it's good to see me blogging again, I dare say it's even better for me to read a comment from a fellow reader, especially since your RSS feed (to which I am subscribed) has also been quiet. But I will think warmly that your writing time is being usurped by the worthy activity of reading. :) adevotedreader, hi!

RSS feeds are amazing in how much time they can absorb without you noticing. I find it hard to balance reading books and blogs and writing about my reading. The later invariably falls by the wayside!

I plan to write a blog entry for Frankenstein but, in short, I was amazed with it. I was amazed because of the thoughts and ideas that Shelley put forward and which I found myself reflecting on since those thoughts and ideas are surprisingly relevant to me. I had many "OMG" moments as I was reading it. I will no doubt find even more in it when I reread it. Yes, I loved it, too. missra, thanks for the comment.
