Too often I read a book, and then quickly forget most of it (or all of it, for less memorable works). I'm hoping this site helps me remember at least something of what I read. (Blog commenced July 2006. Earlier posts are taken from book notes.) (Very occasional notes about movies or concerts may also appear here from time to time.)

Where Angels Fear to Tread (E.M. Forster, 1905)
Lilia travels to Italy and marries penniless Gino;
dies in childbirth within a year. Her
brother (Philip) and sister (annoying Henrietta) and Ms. Caroline Abbott go to
retrieve the child so it can have a proper English upbringing. Seems to lead to a Philip-Caroline romance
but she goes for Gino, without plans to follow through. Henrietta persists in child retrieval. I liked the book well enough.
