I tend to be very unfair to comic (humorous) novels, I have this unreasonable demand that every page makes me laugh. Quite a tall order for the poor authors I think, but I can’t help it, so I generally avoid reading comic novels. I stumbled upon an audiobook of Lucky Jim on Youtube and thought I’d g...
This is the last book published in the Graham Greene series. No Man's Land was published posthumously and actually contains two novellas: No Man's Land and The Stranger's Hand. The Stranger's Hand was made into a movie in 1953 with Trevor Howard and Alida Valli. No Man's Land is by far the more ...
With my secondhand e-reader I've finally been able to make use of the amazing resource known as Project Gutenberg. I'd a hankering for Henry James for a few weeks before I decided to dabble with 'Daisy Miller'. I didn't know what I was expecting, obviously, because for all of its short length there ...
This was an enjoyable read, though at times I was unsure whether the protagonist was actually someone the reader was meant to identify with. It struck me as a "Confederacy of Dunces" for the post-war, British set.

I dla niego i dla mnie też :) Tę książę po prostu się poc...
This book did not pull me in like Maurice and A Passage to India did, but the allegories won me over. Eventually. Rather than being a novel about characters and their individual fates, Howards End is like a mirror made of fractured pieces that show the truth about society in small details and in the...
I don't tend to read novels more than once, but this one I have gone through twice in very little time.
