....I have read two of his stories, Heart of Darkness, which I liked and Lord Jim, which again I had trouble with the writting in that I did not always know what I had just read. I suspect that I disect these stories and become concerned with "obstacals" such as older words and writting style ( which I truly adore). It then becomes work, and I wish it weren't so as i would prefer to read more of the classics. I'll try Conrad again after graduation.....Thank You for the recommendations.
