Perfect Pairings - part two
dovegreyreader has her own thoughts on the Vintage Twins:
dovegreyreader scribbles: Vintage Twins
Two companion reads, one modern, one not, both considered classics of their time, shrink-wrapped together as if in utero and the suggestion that a good non-identical but from-the-same mould read will be had. One that will also shrink the passage of time and suggest timeless themes and messages in the world of literature.
I love the idea of shrinking the passage of time. I wonder if we do that when we read any book that hasn’t come out in the last couple of years? There are lots of films and TV programmes that feel as fresh as when they first came out and then there are the ones that date really really fast. Is a classic then something that is shrink-wrapped fresh when we read it, even if it’s 30, 40 or 100 years old?
Oh and the dear dove also mentions a competition where you can win the entire lot here. Though you might not like the question…
