From far, from eve and morning

[sovay]

After a complete and surprising failure to find anything by E.M. Forster in a used book store in the Boston area—I can only conclude he is beloved and never put up for sale—I gave up and bought A Room with a View (1908) from the Harvard Coop this afternoon; Maurice is next. Tomorrow, Eric and I see Låt den rätte komma in (2008) at the Kendall.

Happy birthday, nineweaving!

Also Neddy boy why did you give up writing novels?

nineweaving also mentioned this. It seemed like a waste to me.

I also forgot how much more I like Mr Emerson in the movie as Denholm Elliott plays him -- he seems much more sympathetic and less Lawrencian-preachy.

That is because Denholm Elliott is really, really awesome.

SETS TO WORK, AND WITH A WILL

My work here is done.

His first novel! the Apostles at Cambridge! also so so good, altho I think I am overly affectionate towards it b/c of its setting and its being his first.

Explain—was it the first novel of his you read?
