It's very simple really. I work all day in an office as part of a modern globalised monoculture. And then on the way home I read A Room with a View and reacquaint myself with everything that's true. Books like this are treasured friends.

Almost a century after the book's publication the most crucial problems it discussed are as current as they were during Forster's life. The impossibility of communicating across the divide of culture, religion, and race, seems to be even more alive then when he saw it. The value of the novel lies not so much in representing it but in the fact that Forster offers a way out - personal contact. There is little chance people will suddenly like Muslims, Pakistanis, gays, lesbians, Moroccans, Turkish, Kurds etc etc - there is a chance (a very slim chance, Forster would be quick to add) that an American and a Muslim, a Turk and a Kurd, an Israeli and a Palestinian can be friends. The world may not want it, the people that surround them may not want it but the results ... Read More:

This was perhaps my first real introduction to literature, apart from "1984", the inevitable smart-schoolboy read, and "Sons And Lovers". As such it was a revelation - Forster's empathy, subtlety, lyricism and chracterisation are magnificent, while being oddly inobtrusive. There are no verbal pyrotechnics as you might find in DH Lawrence or Virginia Woolf, but a deeper vision of life that was wonderful to encounter at 15. Forster's writing trajectory had led him to be able to write a "condition of England" novel - while his previous novels had perhaps erred on the side of social satire and comedy ("A Room With A View" and "Where Angels Fear To Tread"), or been a personal projection ("The Longest Journey"), "Howards End" is more the work of a professional ...

I first read this as a 6th form text in New Zealand in 1963 when texts were not prescribed. It was the choice of an inspired teacher who introduced us also to Janet Frame & Sylvia Ashton Warner. She ( & the novel) have remained with me for ever - we were allowed no references, had to respond only to what we read. Since then I have discovered much, including Italy, met the middle class values, etc. To revisit the novel is wonderful.

6.Howards End by: E.M. Forster April 30, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Wonderfully written with no room left for one to be bored in, this is a must for every book lover. E.M. Forster has a way of writing that entices you into a feeling of warmth. While reading this classic you feel as if you are there with the characters, as if you know them as personal friends. If you enjoyed A Room with a View you will love this!

7.Aspects of the Novel (Penguin Classics) by: E.M. Forster, Oliver Stallybrass September 01, 2005

After dazzling me with his wonderful novels, I read this critical work by Forster and it gave me a much clearer idea of some of the notions behind his own methods of writing as well as those of other twentieth-century novelists. He explains the need to create an aesthetic view of the universe when writing a novel, as logic and reality are not as important within literature as stylistic effect. He demonstrates this concept most clearly in A Passage to India where truth is so distorted that everyday objects are miraculously deified and Eastern mysticism is often undermined. He further illustrates the role of truth in fiction, whether through believable or unbelievable characterisation, or through use of artistic or journalistic language.

Interesting book that obviously succeeded in bringing to the attention of the world the problems of caste in India. BUT, how is his proposed solution in the least bit realistic? (Won't say what it is, as this would spoil it for others.) Suffers a lot from the obsession that some Indians have with Gandhi - a great guy, but not exactly living in the same world as the rest of us.
