1980 Signet Classic paperback of the 1891 novel with a 1964 afterword by Donald Hall. This copy is a tie-in to the 1980 Roman Polanski film starring the lovely Nastassia Kinski and Peter Firth. It was on my list of the 100 best novels to read when I found it last year in the free books pile on the porch of Dimond Library.

I can let this go after I read:
1874 Destiny and a Blue Cloak (short story) [read 2011]
1874 Far from the Madding Crowd [read 2011]
1878 The Return of the Native [read 2011]
1883 The Three Strangers (short story) [read 2011]
1885 A Mere Interlude (short story) [read 2012]
1885 The Mayor of Casterbridge [read 2012]
1890 Squire Petrick's Lady (short story) [read 2013]

Edit March 26, 2014: This was a terrific story, although long, and it took me forever to finish. But the ending, although a bit contrived, had me haniging on every step of the way. Wow, I really want to see the film now. I currently have this ranked at #618 on my ranked list of best-read books lately.

Aside from loving shared books, my main passion in life is supporting the human rights work of my good friend, Anni Cyrus. 💖 💖 Her life story of survival as a childhood refugee is astounding, and quite moving!
