I've always had a bit of difficulty reading works that more than 60 or 70 years old. I feel the writing styles in vogue in times past don't always translate to the modern reader with ease. Although, after thinking about it for a moment, I did enjoy the Jon Carpenter on Mars stories, White Fang, and a few other works from that around the time that The Dream of X would have been written. <br /><br />Still, many classics, while I can appreciate their historical significance, disappoint me from a storytelling perspective. <br /><br />At 20,000 words, the American version of this tale would barely qualify as a novella - well worth the investment of my time to find a gem from another era.<br /><br />Thanks again.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.com
