Whenever I see your list, my brain announces, pavlovially: "A thousand thousand slimy things Lived on, and so did I".

Which brings, not only Samuel Taylor to mind (obviously), but also no. 5 on crazyfitter's list. The author, that is (obviously).

You'll surely have read the first on my list, but maybe not the third? I'd recommend it to you, specifically.

Interesting. I haven't, no, but perhaps I should. Sounds like The Secret Garden in reverse, which was my favourite book as a child.

I second the first. It's a heartbreaker though.

Not a re-read, for a change, though I've seen the play at least once, on TV.

Love the glorious anachronism of a 16th century heir to the Spanish throne who, bizarrely, together with his best friend the Marquis of Posa, is a 19th century democrat. "Geben Sie Gedankenfreiheit!" Inconceivable that a 16th century Spanish grandee would say such a thing to his king, or even understand what it meant. Schiller gives you the comforting feeling that he and you both are on the right side of history: on the side of progress and enlightenment.

Strange, actually, that the anachronism is more noticeable with Schiller than with Shakespeare. I suppose it's because he's closer to our own time.

Just looked him up, and I notice that the first performance was two years before the French Revolution. Well, Schiller was a 19th century democrat before it was cool.

Me too. In a few of the novels, I feel like a great premise got squandered. I loved the idea behind Time out of Joint, but didn't like the way it ended at all. But then, in the afterword, someone said that the problem a lot of the time was that Dick was strongarmed by the publisher to take the story a certain way.

I'd avoided Three Stigmata because, based on the blurb I didn't think I'd enjoy it much, but turned out I thought it was awesome.
