buddhafish 's review for:

A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
4.0

I remember being pleasantly surprised by this one; Forster's prose was lovely to read. After a lecture one day during my BA I remember walking into the city centre of C. to find somewhere to sit down and read as it was such a beautiful winter day. As I was walking down North Street I spied my lecturer, my favourite lecturer, D., heading up East Street. I tailed him in hope of talking with him as I always enjoyed doing so but he disappeared into the bank before I caught up to him. So, I rather pathetically sat down on one of the benches in the street and began reading so when he emerged again he would spot me and I would be able to talk to him. Sometime later I looked up from my book and saw him unfastening his bike from a rack and setting off, without spotting me at all; I let him go, because I knew I wouldn't be able to feign surprise at finding him there in the street, and figured he would, somehow, know that I had been sat waiting for him outside the bank the whole time. Instead, I went and read A Room With a View by C. Cathedral.
