I did read and appreciate A Passage to India, but haven't read his other works. I'll put Howard's End on my not quite endless reading list. Eliot is, I think, underappreciated because people tend to start with Middlemarch, which in my opinion is one of her less succcessful works (though better than Romola). But people who can't get through it tend to miss Silas Marner, Adam Bede, and The Mill on the Floss, though they shouldn't. The only Hesse I have read is Siddhartha, which of course was unavoidable for those growing up in the 60s. Lewis I like a lot, the Narnia series of course, but more his accessible religious works, such as Surprised by Joy and The Screwtape Letters. And for recreation, of course, Father Brown. Do you know Chesterton? I particularly like his poetry, especially the Ballad of the White Horse. And for pure fun, do you know Morley's The Haunted Bookshop? If not, you have a treat in store.
