Review: The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling by Henry Fielding
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I hated each and every second I was subjected to your eighteenth centuryness Tom Jones. I will never get those months of my life back and shall remember each second I spent in your study with contempt and horror.

But I'm glad I read you. Stupid significant contributions to literature.

In Depth:

Reads: Great American/English Novels (capitalize), Romantic Poets, Children's Lit (it's a genre!), Fairy Tales and Folktales from around the world, "Graphic Novels" (for the pretentious in taste), Comics (when no one is watching), Manga, Elizabethan poets (when I'm forced to), Arthurian Myths (all of them, ANY of them), High Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Fantasy Lite... anything that has wizards and dragons and a knight or two will do.

Writes: Mostly fantasy but specially the "urban" sort. Ladies and knights make me distinctly self-conscious. Also horror; ghost and ghoul stories are easier to relate to.

Listens to: Suffice to say that if it's indie or pop or pop rock or old school rock I'll probably give it a try. Except for metal; embarrassingly the furthest I've gone there is HIM with high dosages of Evanescence. It really is quite mortifying. Grunge, on the other hand, has a place in my heart.

Draws: People! ONLY people. I have an accute phobia of drawing inanimate objects and animals. In fact, I focus almost entirely on drawing characters from my RPGs and my feeble attempts at novels. The setting surrounding these poor sods remains a mystery.
