Gay said:
"Read "Laundry" and I'll read it again before I say for sure I'm not a fan. It felt jumbled. I don't get it.
Still reading this, a story at a time. Of course, Refresh, Refresh is absolutely stellar. " |

"I like the history aspects of this story but the story itself wasn't as fulfulling as I expected. I loved "A Room with A View" and "Howards End" which I'm pretty sure are also Forster's.
