Teddy: They are pretty new (I think this tour was their third), so there will be plenty more opportunities! Rebecca: The Mount is amazing - if you get a chance, definitely go. We paid extra for a guided tour and it was well worth it. I love the idea of the Classics Circuit...a lot of fun! Andi: Funny - I liked House of Mirth MUCH better than The Age of Innocence...but both are worth reading as much for Wharton's amazing writing as the story. Jenclair: That is the wonderful thing about blog reading, isn't it? All those new "finds" we discover!!! Staci: It ends today (the 31st), but you can go back and read all the posts – some are great!

I first tackled it as a cranky grad student, and I quickly decided I didn't like it. Don't even remember why now. Though, happily, I did have really good luck with The Age of Innocence. Ethan Frome is around my house somewhere, and I fully intend to explore her work further. The House of Mirth is one of those books I really need to re-read.
