Welcome to Litsy!

Embarking on reading this #20thCenturyClassics. @Butterfinger @jmofo @sprainedbrain I 1st read it in college freshman English class in 1968. I can't imagine reading it the 1st time w/o some sort of guidance. Pictured is my shelf copy of the book, acquired in 1968 for my class. In it I found the chronological guide the prof provided us (on the right), and my handwritten family genealogy for the Compson family (left).

@Butterfinger @sprainedbrain @jmofo #20thcenturyclassics After much delay on my part, I have finally mailed 2 books to you Tammy, Howard's End and Ceremony, both great reads. I have The Sound and the Fury, and hope to finish it by November's end. You should receive the books Tuesday-I have tracking # if needed.

I am finally, very belatedly, and with many apologies sending my #20thCenturyClassics book onto you Tammy @Butterfinger . This was a lovely family saga of life in pre-WW II Japan, as a family tries to marry off the third daughter so that the youngest (and 4th) daughter can marry her fiancee. It should arrive Thursday. @sprainedbrain @jmofo

Hi, my name is Jenni, and I really like fascinating character study sort of books set in historical England where not a whole lot actually happens. 😅

Howards End very much fit this bill for me, and despite a slow part in the middle, I enjoyed it. I really loved the Schlegel sisters, especially Margaret, and I laughed more than a little.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This will be going out to Deborah soon. Excited for another round of #20thCenturyClassics y‘all!

At last, the separate parts of Hermann Broch‘s trilogy together in the beautiful, rare, #penguinclassics edition.
