I came into 2014 hoping to read some of the great books that I've missed but, as usual, I didn't do a very good job of staying focused on that goal. I did finally manage to get through "Moby Dick" but was so underwhelmed by that classic that I didn't pick up another until recently. I'll be finishing up "Madame Bovary" today and have very much enjoyed it. I am really surprised that a book written in the 1850s could have been as realistic and frank as this one is about sex, suicide, religion, etc. It was a groundbreaking novel.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027982062971332677.post-22098245940784748152014-12-08T02:16:17.272-08:002014-12-08T02:16:17.272-08:00Your review has made me really want to try this, b...Your review has made me really want to try this, but I did not have a good experience with Passage to India.

I think I should re-read it actually, since I read it way back in high school! <br /><br />Speaking of Forster, you might want to look into Arctic Summer by Damon Galgut, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize this year. The book is fictionalized look at the life of Forster. As I mentioned in a previous comment, I'm generally not one to read novels about artists, but this one is definitely going on my wish list.
