Back to the Library ] 1) I basically never read Hardy because he's always so miserable.
] 3) Now that I've seen the broadcast, I've lost all desire to continue reading



I saw a movie or TV adaptation of Tess in the early 1980's (I guess? -- not sure if it's the same one you guys were just watching) and I don't remember much of it now, but it certainly didn't inspire me with much desire to read the book; and also, whenever I pick up a Hardy paperback in a bookstore, just the cover blurb makes me put it right back on the shelf ;-)
