I've enjoyed all the Barsetshire novels, but have only dipped into a few of his many other tomes. They all are filled with interesting characters who bring his era alive.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-14519170509562375452017-07-08T05:40:51.406-07:002017-07-08T05:40:51.406-07:00What a wonderful post, Lisa!

And I especially love that he was so prolific... even if I ever 'run out' of new works, rereading could keep me happy indefinitely. (Especially another visit to Barsershire!) Thank you for reading with us :)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-9715793879065824972017-07-07T16:39:59.536-07:002017-07-07T16:39:59.536-07:00@Judith-I think most people start with the Barsets...@Judith-I think most people start with the Barsetshire novels, but I can't imagine why you couldn't start with the Palliser novels. I think my first Trollope novel was The Warden. I read the Barsetshire novels, then the Palliser novels, then The Way We Live Now. Now I'm starting over with the Palliser novels, and it is such a pleasure to reread them!bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-324148138998693442017-07-07T15:05:42.598-07:002017-07-07T15:05:42.598-07:00You make an excellent case for why a reader ought ...You make an excellent case for why a reader ought to consider reading Trollope. I'm so far behind because I've never read him. I understand that lots of people start with the Barsetshire novels. Is that right? (Not sure). I am willing to give him a try, just because so many readers I know and respect have found his novels interesting. <br />Enjoy!<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.com
