Shopaholic Abroad - Sophie Kinsella. Enjoyable way to pass a few hours, and I did enjoy the first book so thought I may as well give it a go.

My current bedtime reading is Utopia by Thomas More. Not the type of book I usually go for, but felt like something a bit different.

Just finished Marian Keyes The brightest star in the sky, I loved this book certainly not as laugh out loud funny as the earlier books but a great read.

Along Came A Spider - James Patterson. Love the Women's Murder Club and his short chapters so giving Alex Cross a go.

hello. I have not been in the book forum much, even though I have been on the DS site for a few years. I love reading.
Currently reading a fun adventure book Corsair by Clive Cussler. I have just finished, The Reader by Bernard Schlink. A very moving and powerful story. |

Finished Speaker Of The Dead by Orson Scott Card, and just started The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo (and thoroughly enjoying it so far).

I have watched the tv programme, but not read the book. It is hard to keep up with reading when at Uni. I had to do so much reading for my course, I often did not have the energy to read for pleasure as well

I'm reading Jasper Fforde's "The Big Over Easy" which is the first in his Nursery Crime novels. I am enjoying it but thus far not as much as I loved the Thursday Next series. However, I'll reserve judgement until I finish it

may i suggest if you are a romantic that you don't read the epilogue - I think EM Forster was going through a hate phase when he wrote it
). Thanks.

Well, I've just finished the book (been a bit busy and am reading other things alongside this), finding it a great read. However, my copy (a Kindle one) had no epilogue. So, off I went to search on Google, and find that the epilogue you speak of was written fifty years after the publication. So, on that basis, I think I'll just discount it. If you don't mind, can you summarise what it said in spoiler tags, because the details I get are hazy (although I sort of can guess
). Thanks.

I haven't read it for years so apologies if it's a bit hazy as far as I recall:

![]() Still, you're probably right: he must have had a bad day or something to have written that. Maybe he was woken from sleep by some Italian cabby singing outside his window, and decided to exact his revenge. Again, thanks for the reply. PS - Talking about E M Forster, I'm now starting Howards End. I've seen the film and thought it was quite good. |

Many thanks for that summary of the epilogue to E M Forster's A Room with a View. Considering that the epilogue was written fifty years after publication, I think it's up to us to decide whether to accept it or not. I suppose for the romantic it's a reality that goes against the hope set out in the book, but then again, living happily ever after can get a bit boring, too.
