Perhaps it is partly Forster's fault after all and I don't have to feel so guilty?Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-41923498391343618532012-05-26T16:59:39.750+02:002012-05-26T16:59:39.750+02:00Hmm, the only Forster I've read is A Passage t...Hmm, the only Forster I've read is A Passage to India and I had a similar reaction as you did to this one. I was impressed by it and so wanted to like it but I could connect to the story or characters for some reason.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-91028046279954311292012-05-26T12:00:19.419+02:002012-05-26T12:00:19.419+02:00Perhaps I should go and watch the movie too, since...Perhaps I should go and watch the movie too, since we seem to have pretty similar tastes in films :)<br />Jane Eyre is so amazing that I even dare say it does the book justice which is the highest compliment I can make. Also, I watched it the night before my exam for the Cambridge Certificate (that's a huge language test for foreign speakers of English) and I passed with grade A, so Jane and Rochester have obviously brought me luck :)Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-36858376325001837742012-05-24T11:54:35.352+02:002012-05-24T11:54:35.352+02:00Ah, this has happened to me before (though at this...Ah, this has happened to me before (though at this late hour specific titles aren't coming to mind): you appreciate a text for what it does, but you just don't love it the way you hoped you would.<br /><br />I remember enjoying A Room With a View, but it's been years since I read it. Mostly I adore the movie. It's one of my all-time favorites, and I go back to it often. The only problem is I can't remember how much of its brilliance is due to Forster and how much is due to the filmmakers/actors/etc.<br /><br />Maybe you can watch some Jane Eyre to cheer you up? I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it as much as I did! :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.com
