Book 31: Howards End by E M Forster


Not sure about this. I know I would have liked it quite a bit when I was younger, but I found myself a bit annoyed at many of the characters and how they behaved; perhaps I've just moved away from being interested in this sort of person, unless it's done with more humour and lightness of touch. I know it's supposed to be his masterpiece and I won't deny the writing is very good; I know it addresses issues of social convention and personal relationships and intellectualism and whatnot, but I just couldn't really make myself care all that much about any of the people involved.
