Flaubert

I must agree with Emma's post in that Flaubert is decently treacherous to read, or at least to start. I can only pick up on his comical style every once and a while, and honestly, I don't find it that funny. He's pretty good at descriptions though, for I can totally envision the characters, but I'm surely hoping for something a little more engaging to happen...

Are you kidding me Sarah. You're off your rocker. I mean, what could be more funny than a stupid whore like Emma poisining herself to death. It's fabulous. And the old man singing about loose women outside while Emma dies. It was fabulous. I loved it.

Please see my comment on Emma's post. You both (along with Hannah) seem to be very much on the same page. Only Walker, apparently, has a sick enough sense of humor to enjoy this read.
