I hope you enjoy it. I recently read it and thought it was a good read. Not perfect, but with fascinating characters. :)

I just bought a signed copy of The Plays of John Galsworthy and The Forsyte Saga. I haven't read his plays yet, but I have read the Saga. I want to read them. I'll carefully turn the pages though (sort of old).
