I'm listening to THE BLITHEDALE ROMANCE, and I'm about halfway through. [View all]

I like it better than I expected.

Something about Hawthorne's writing is just kinda....creepy. Like things are just a little bit off.

I remember a short story he wrote about some elderly people who thought they looked young but in the mirror their reflections were of elderly people. This book is kind of like that--people are not what they seem to be.
