Two more books, bringing my total to eleven:
A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
Classic romance with a good deal of humor. Forster really knew how to expose the absurdities of class differences. I love this novel! I read it through knowing how it would end, and loving every bit of it.
Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter
This falls under the love or hate category- I happened to love it. It's a strange story about a winged circus performer and the American journalist who follows her to get her story. "Is she fact or is she fiction?" The story is in three parts- London, St. Petersburg, and Siberia. It is a vivid portrait of the sideshow lives at the turn of the 19th/20th century. It's part fairy tale, part freak show. And it's an enjoyable ride. I need to find some of Carter's other works. It's a shame she died so young (back in 1992).
Up next, Mansfield Park (finally). And three new Torchwood novels will be out before the end of the month!
