Reading the Classics discussion

Follow-up:

I read and gave 5 stars to all 4 Shaketember plays:
- Othello, The Tempest, Henry IV, Part 1, and The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare

I was disappointed with EM Forster's A Room with a View, perhaps my expectations were too high.

I am conflicted by John Steinbeck's East of Eden and will save comments for our group discussion
