I started reading this month's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bibliogoth book on the way to Bath. It seemed totally appropriate to be reading an early 19th century gothic novel there, particularly as we were staying on exactly the same street that Miss Catherine Moreland stayed at when she first arrived in Bath. I won't say too much about the book before the meeting but I really enjoyed it. The characters seemed more developed than in the Monk and I really enjoyed the madness aspect. There were some dull moments but on the whole it was very good. Much easier to read and more engaging than other gothic novels I've read and even in translation the style was very good. It could have done with a little more devil and a little less princes but I'd still recommend it.
