Room with a View by E. M. Forster
book 56: A Room with a View by E. M. Forster
I feel like a dork, but I feel words like "lovely" and "delightful" floating around my head when I think of this book. A Room with a View is E. M. Forster's first novel, and he evidently wrote it before truly experiencing a physical romance himself. Well, he still led me, scrooge though I am about comedic romance, around by the emotions, feeling anxious and brooding and whimsical and passionate. I also had plenty of chuckles and eye rolls and fond memories of the movie based on the book (which turned out to be pretty faithful). Now I will have to track down a copy of the film to see again after over a decade, for the romance, of course (not just to see young Julian Sands naked). :) I also think I can look forward to reading the other E. M. Forster books on my shelf, because if he did this well so young, what did he grow into?
