I haven't read any Trollope in years, but I always liked him, more than Dickens. I'm hoping this one is fun.

The American Senator it is! So, are we trollops for reading Trollope?
I'll have the discussion thread up a little later. Last edited by sun surfer; 05-08-2013 at 12:20 PM. |

Not Anthony but maybe Joanna with her "Aga sagas"?
Actually I quite enjoy them when I want to read something light. |

I have been wanting to read Trollope for awhile, although I had Barchester Chronicles on my TBR list, so I am looking forward to this month's selection. However I have been very busy at work and traveling in the UK so I still haven't read April's book!

I imagine being able to make the font bigger if needed is a blessing with such eye problems.

I'm still working on March too. Nearly there... I hope you are recovering well. My mom just had cataract surgery on one eye recently, and she decided to move the other eye to later since it's taking longer than she expected to heal.

Cataract surgery can result in excellent improvement. My Aunt found that she could see and read with far less effort and techniques have improved so much since then.
