hopefully, it's also all right for finishing e.m. forster's a room with a view. i only have 55 pages left!
here's the other reading i have accomplished since my last post:
"A Retrospect" by Ezra Pound
"Vorticist Manifesto" by Wyndham Lewis
"London Models" by Oscar Wilde
"The Truth of Masks" by Oscar Wilde
i must say, i'm so happy that my exams are in the fall as opposed to the spring. why? well, many reasons but if they were in the spring i would feel deprived of my tv watching time. since it's summer, i don't have this problem, because i have way too many channels and there's nothing good on! which leaves me with no choice but to read so i suppose everything is working out exactly as it's supposed to.
i am totally liking a room with a view. i thought at first i wouldn't because it reminds me so much of henry james' a portrait of a lady, but now that i'm almost done i can see that though they do have similarities they are not carbon copies of each other. i am also discovering that i really do like the work of e.m. forster. i had read several of his short stories for my 548 class. i thought a passage to india was just okay, but the short stories and now room have definitely made me realize how much i enjoy his fiction. i think a passage might just be really different also because it was written almost a decade after a room as well as most of the short stories.
more in a couple of days when i have more reading progress to report!

you are doing an awesome job of reading!
thanks! it's hard but i'm trying! luckily, once i actually sit down to read, i like what i'm reading (with the exception of samuel beckett) and i'm not bored by it, which means hopefully i've chosen my research interests well. still, i'm also reading harry potter 4 and have a hard time putting that down in favor of katherine mansfield!
