I read Howard's End after A room with a view and while I felt it was good, as you know some books are, no matter how you actually enjoy them, I never could warm up to it and I felt let down... Perhaps I should try to find Maurice. I've read about it, but I've never actually seen it in a book-shop (neither new nor used). After all considering I live in a non-English speaking country it's very easy to come across books in English so you never really think about that it's just a small trickle compared to how many you would come across in let's say England!
And I LOVE To the lighthouse - the first one of Woolf I read. Read it in English - there is a translation to Swedish available but even though many translations (especially newer ones) can be really good it's hard to convince me that would actually work with a writer like that!
