Should I read Howard's End before I read Zadie Smith's On Beauty?

you should, not that i have read 'on beauty', but just because howards end is a really good book, and if you got knocked over by a bus next week without having read 'on beauty' at least you would have read 'howards end'.

That is an excellent point. I would have read Howard's way End and, thanks to my pant drawer decluttering, would have acceptable pants on should said accident happen.

i concur. i have read both (albeit howard's end was about 15 years ago) and though i enjoyed on beauty...well, howard's end was better.

i don't have any pants on so hopefully nothing will hit me- and now that i think about it, maybe i should start wearing pants for my bike-ride into work ...
