First LoT book club discussion: Madame Bovary

[mistyisjafo]

I'm still dragging myself thru section 2, Randolphe has just arrived.

First impressions: Based on my limited knowledge of the time I'd bet that Madame Bovary was a real scorcher in it's day. I'm assuming it's a book writen during the Romantic Era and it's a book condemning the era. Kind of a morality play to show those too deep into Romantism that even thou it's great to long for those things that they lose site of the important things around them.

I find it some what ponderous with the flowery writing but it's still interesting to get a look into the past. I hope I can power thru it and be done by the end of this week!!
