rose_griffes: hand-written text: "Once upon a time" (once upon a time)

A friend gave me a copy of E.M. Forster's A Room with a View. The problem is that I know the movie adaption--I know it really well. (I used to have it on an old VCR tape; now I have it on DVD.) So... is there another Forster book that I might enjoy reading? I'm worried that the satire in his prose might be too subtle for me, but there's only one way to find out.

Speaking of books, I did finally finish Remake, by Connie Willis. Excellent prose, as always. I prefer Bellwether, though that's partially the Sandra/Ben shipper in me talking. Thinking about it, I would have prefered Alis's story instead of Tom's POV. So if you're a completionist and must read ALL the Willis novels, go for it. If not, eh. It was okay.

Still in the middle of Inheritance, by Christopher Paolini. My current non-spoilery reaction: Nasuada! It's a very long book, and I'm not even reading a chapter a day on average, so this may take a while.

Why has no one else posted any Zoe Morgan/John Reese fic? Is there a hidden stash somewhere? Do I need to know the secret code?
