Hi Henry, I'm still only about a third of way through. School has intervened. I plan to keep going however - it's a good book. --Kathy ... From: hecon_99...
I am missing something important. I can not find a real purpose for the character "Harris" in _The Heart of Darkness_. At first I though he was a symbol for...
Gary: Thanks for you comments. I thought the book was more about despair than control, but I see your point. Control is very improtant in it, and I think the...
I'm looking forward to it too WInston, and it will be good to have you along for that read. Before HE though, we have Go Tell it on the Mountain for February....
Hello all! I just joined the group and I'm so excited about the books to come (and discussions) -- so many of these books are ones that I've always wanted to...
Welcome Patricia. We'll be glad to have you along for Howard's End. Henry ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one...
Please join the Democrats, progressives and liberals online book club. We will read a book a month and discuss it via e-mail or at the group web site ...
Howard's End is somewhat interesting, but I don't really understand why Charles feels it is his duty to kill Leonard. I thought that was really over the top....
How are people finding this? I am about one-third of the way through. GIven that the book was written a few years before the First World War, I think it is...
Henry, I'm reading and enjoying the story (very much), but I've been distracted with a job search. I knew for a couple of weeks before the 18th that my job...
Winston: Best of luck in your job search. Those are always difficult. It is a fine story. At first, I thought onnly connect referred to connecting across the...
HE looks at aspects of class structure in late Edwardian England. Forster delves into how social class and money can put barriers between people and to limit...
Thanks for a very interesting comment on the book. I just finished it, and I liked it very much, although it was a bit preachy at times. I have a few other ...
Is anyone reading this. I read it, and I must admit I did not like it at all. Could someone tell me what is so good about it. I will say one thing for it--I...
I have not read it yet. The fact that it is short makes me want to try. I have left so many unread because I have not found them interesting. I know a movie...
I haven't seen that movie either, but I have seen the movie of Howard's End. (Anthony Hopkins as Henry Wilcox, Emma Thompson as Margaret) I thought that movie...
Certainly the imprisonment was a great blow to Henry Wilcox and it changed his attitudes to several things. I think though that he did not like Howard's End ...
Hello, All. My name is Rose, I'm 57, I live in rural upstate New York. I'm in a reading mood, so I thought I'd join a reading group or two (or three!). I'm...
Hi, I just joined this group. I am a former English Lit major,but that was ages ago and I haven't done much reading since then except non fiction. I am looking...
Sorry I pushed the send buttom before I had finished the message. I could not find the list of 100 Greatest books, it was not on the Random House site. I'd...
Cher and Rose, Welcome to the group. I hope you can join us for a book of the month soon. Cher, If you go to the home page and click on "Files" on the left...
Thanks Henry, I already have my book. But I don't see any messages or is that because it's the end of the month? I also joined this classic book club and I...
The sad truth is, Jett, that we have not been a very active group lately. I have had to skip this month's read. Is anyone reading All the King's Men? Any ...
Yes, I read _All the King's Men_ and enjoyed it. It has the feel of a 19th century novel but with an appropriate edginess. You can't help comparing Long to...
Well I'm starting this month's book, is it June> I never know the date. More fun to discuss things, wonder why the messages dropped off so much, I guess this ...
