Further Literary Adventures

[firstlight]

The Uncommon Reader (Alan Bennett) is an absolutely lovely little book. It made me smile a lot. (It also reminded me of the existence of the book Howard's End by EM Forster and that particular passage about Beethoven's Fifth, which I remember being very fond of but which I haven't read since, oh, my early teens. Hmm.)

Broken Angels (Richard Morgan) contains considerably more archaeology than I was somehow expecting! Onward. :)

(This is me actually keeping a record of what I'm reading.)

I can't remember very much about Howard's End. A few bits and pieces here and there. It makes me want to read it again. As though I don't have enough to read already. But I should read more non-sci-fi! XD (The passage about Beethoven is fantastic and left a very strong impression on me. Actually, I think my mum made me read that passage first. Then I read the book. *laughs*)
