Novel, "Ethan Frome", Edith Wharton: The prologue didn't grip me but the rest of the story got better.

Short story, "The Painted Door", Sinclair Ross: I don't know my thoughts on this yet...

Poem, "Desert Places", Robert Frost: Beautiful short poem, I love it. I've read a few Robert Frost poems and plan on reading more.

Poem, "The Snow Man", Wallace Stevens: I don't know if this went over my head or..??

Essay, "Confessions of a Hypochondriac", Barbara Graham: I really found this interesting and if she has written more essays like this one, I want to read it.

Short Story, "Adventure", Sherwood Anderson: This one I really loved and *chefs kiss*

Poem, "Mirage", Christina Rossetti: This was beautiful.

Short Story, "Dreams", Marie G. Lee: It was good, I appreciated the story.

It was actually an intriguing book for it to be assigned by my English class.

[Veronica Perdomo]

This would have been five stars hands-down if I weren't so impartial towards some of the characters. Ethan is sympathetic, certainly, but for reasons I will later explain I remain lukewarm about him. Same thing with Mattie.

I'm going to reserve further comment until after we've all read it together, but suffice it to say I adore this book, as I have from the first time I picked it up. Each reading reveals something new in which to delight, some previously undiscovered detail or turn of phrase to elicit a new shudder of appreciation.
