But I've broken free now! And I read a very short book, very slowly. I don't have much to say about E.M. Forster's A Room With a View, except that it was an ideally brief story as befitting a lazy me. I preferred his A Passage to India - that one seemed to have more mystery and voice and elegance. Room was almost silly, though perhaps it's really just my disinterest in reading about people falling in love so plainly. I'm pretty jealous of the lifestyle all of these characters have in this time though - all travel to fantastic locations, and socializing, and lazy afternoons in the country. I wish.
Not dull, but also not much to dote on. That is my simple view of this book. (But after a google image search of the title, I see there was a movie made with Helena Bonham Carter as Lucy looking all pre-emo, and Maggie Smith as Charlotte, and it's screwing up my whole perception of what these characters could be. Oh the difference a film can make)
