Its been a while, I daresay a long while, since I picked up a novel (an actual novel) and read it. I just finished Maurice by E.M. Forster. I was inspired to read this book after watching the movie and I must say the book is much much better than the book.

The book is about a man's life from his childhood to adulthood, Maurice. He is what back then people considered an "illness" homosexual and he pass his life as he struggle with his homosexuality

The novel is not romantic oriented. Rather it goes deals with the struggle that Maurice face with his homosexuality due to public pressure and persecution. Forster is pretty insightful describing the predicaments Maurice has to go through being a homosexual. This book should garner much more attention like his other works.

Anyways great read.
