JalenV, ManWithAnAgenda
Erklärungen
JalenV: I picked it because it was a classic, but the characters and their stories were much more interesting than I expected. BTW The Wheat and the Tares chapter is old name for the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds.

JalenV: Mom tried to get me to read Heyer when I was 15, but I was bored. I tried this book when I was older. It was funny. It was delightful. I've been a Heyer fan for about 50 years now.
