We discovered that there was not a book on our book list for August, so after an email discussion suggesting we choose a classic, with the suggestions of 'Jude the Obscure' and 'Siddhartha', we wait to see what people have read. Both these books are available as free ebooks from Gutenberg.org.
Jude the Obscure:
This could be made into a modern film I think, witha pregnant girl, in a shabby run down council flat, leaving the boy who has pretensions of getting an education. Well, maybe that last bit differs.
I am up to page 62 on the ebook and he is making his way to Christminster, which is at the north of Wessex, where the leisurely Thames strokes the fields. This can only be Oxford to my mind.
