I bought a copy of Ben Hur in a second hand store for 3 dollars. The book was printed in 1887 and you can se it has been read by a lot of people and has been repaired at least once. I am hoping I can stick with it and finish it. Wish me luck.
- stonecharioteer 3y agoI love Ben Hur! The book is slightly longer than the movie, and has angles not in the movie at all. That's not to say either is lesser. I think both of them are quite representative of the story. If you want to discuss this, I'm on twitter with the same ID.
- pbnjeh 3y agoI thought you were going to tell us it has an erratum on page 116. (A reference to the 1946 film version of "The Big Sleep", starring Bogie and Bacall. If you haven't seen it, it's an excellent movie. It even has a used bookstore.)
- vidyesh 3y agoGood luck! Please do pass long as soon as you finish it to people interested in reading it. I have old books in my native language and some other languages inherited from my parents and grandparents and I have to find people to pass along as libraries will not take it because they don't have space or demand for it. But when I find people who are interested in those topics, their eyes lit up when I pass along those books. I hope they cherish those books.
