I just discovered that there is a film version of Forster's _Maurice_, a UK production, as to be expected.<br /><br />Is anyone familiar with this? It's available at the local library, so I'm thinking of putting it on reserve.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-33978254538828338472011-07-28T01:59:48.533+08:002011-07-28T01:59:48.533+08:00Mel u,

The first novel I read was _A Passage to India_, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I then immediately went out and got a second by him, _Howards End_, which I thought was quiet good, but after that I didn't read any more of his novels. Why? I really don't know.<br /><br />Yet, I did read his _Aspects of a Novel_ and was impressed by this printed version of a series of lectures he gave at Trinity College, Cambridge. I also had read his "The Machine Stops" which I thought was set very far in the future, but today I'm less certain of that.<br /><br />Yet, in spite of positive reactions to his work, I've never really gotten enthusiastic enough to want to read more. I see that he has a collection of short stories out, so I might take a look at those. Perhaps that might inspire me to take another look at his novels.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-70805891905763480702011-07-27T21:08:38.180+08:002011-07-27T21:08:38.180+08:00I have never read his short stories!
