The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Novels
by Henry James
What is this - you're wasting your time with all these other books?! When am I going to read your review of Brothers K? And it better be good (by 'good', I mean positive).
Oops, sorry. :) Its just long and hard to read, so I have to intersperse it with easier reading, although this one did not turn out to be easy reading. Don't worry, I'm reading it! I'm not a slacker. ;)
I'm just anxious to hear if you liked it. It makes me want to read it again. Ahh, maybe someday soon I will.
Well, I am liking it so far, I'm just finding it a hard read...I generally find Russian books a hard read. But the storyline is interesting and so are the crazy insane people. ;)
the Russian authors are my favorite. but i agree. not easy.
hey, i'm going to miss you this year in sunday school. i'm teaching it again for 8 weeks. we met for the first time this week, but just helped out in the nursery. anyhow, i missed you.

I'm as done as I'm ever going to be with this book. I read 5 of the stories, but I just couldn't force myself to finish The Turn of the Screw. It was just too awful, yet slightly dull. :/
The other stories all had very unsatisfactory endings, especially the first one, An International Episode. I think I threw the book across the room when I finished and shouted "Stupid stupid girl!!!" I don't know why I read Henry James...I get so irritated.
However, I did like Daisy Miller, and James is a very good writer...just irritating.
