In putting off Homer's Odyssey, I was eager for anything long and good to read. So, I picked up E. M. Forster's "A Room With A View".
It is wonderful. I loved Lucy as soon as I heard her last name ("Honeychurch"), and as she is exposed to the world she grows as a person, and character development is always something I look for, in a book.
I am on chapter eight, and can't wait to finish.
In the beginning, I copied out passages, but I have since stopped, because it seems as though there is at least one paragraph worth copying, on each page. I hope to be finished within a few days, although I supposed I'll then have to face The Odyssey. I know I will enjoy Homer, but I am still apprehensive, because it will be a lot of work. Until then, I will find solace in Forster, and, of course, the holidays.
