I've read and re-read Hardy for years.
I don't know if I haven't finished his novels because I'm afraid NOT to have another new major work on the horizon.
This is my declaration. I will read all of Thomas Hardy's works.
I will allow his deeply melancholic, depressing narratives to lull me into a state of despondency.
I will make a hot cup of mushroom tea (to mimic coffee), add vegan creamer and settle in with a sad novel of his.

Yes.
Yes this is the lot of the Hardy fan. To enter into despair with the turn of every page.

| My Hardy Novel List |
With only 4 Hardy novels left to complete his major works oeuvre, I will resist the urge to re-read any of his novels (AGAIN).
If I had only read each work twice, I would've been done a long time ago.
Far From the Madding Crowd is one of my favorite novels and I have re-read it three times. I've re-read Tess and Jude as well. Ughhhh.
Okay. I've accepted this. I will NOT re-read anything by Hardy until I complete the last 4 novels that I have of his to read.
I've downloaded them all and will start with The Hand of Ethelberta!
Happy Hardy reading 🫖
