I decided to push through and really? the resolution is that the guy who died in book 1 isn't dead anymore? And the crazy woman who has been crazy for 100 years snaps out of it?

From college: Ulysses and Turn of the Screw. I could barely begin, let alone finish.

Ulysses sure, but Screw? That's not even a particularly complex James, and a drat fun story.

I loved Turn of the Screw. Not too long, and kept my interest.

The Devil in the White City. The middle is too focused on architecture business talk for me.

I had to read Turn of the Screw and The Aspern Papers in college, and I was dreading them after hearing for years about how tedious and impenetrable Henry James is. I was surprised to actually enjoy them.

Have you tried What Maisie Knew yet? That's wall-to-wall Jamsien sentences where he stress-tests the English Language.

You poop-heads are guilting me into reading Turn of the Screw. My professor passed away years ago, too, which is only making me feel more guilty.
