I read this book and it resonated with me more then any book ever has. Has anyone else read it?

Had to read it for my American Lit class last semester; the majority of it didn't leave much of a mark on me, but analyzing the novel as either feminist or anti-feminist on my final for the book did, and made me think a lot....

Yes -I remember liking it but it's been a while. All I remember about it now is that she walks into the ocean at the end. Right? Or am I thinking of something else?

I did, for school. Pretty good, sounded like it could have been written by a modern day person.

Yeah I read that book in HS. Didn't have strong feelings for it one way or the other.

Yes. That's it. My English Degree is finally worth something...I get to confirm a statement on a message board!

Well I have an English degree too, but I couldn't remember. So I guess it is twice as useless for me!

I think I read it in one of my American lit classes but I always blur Henry James, Wharton, and Chopin together -so it is hard to remember what is what at times.

:flush :dead Edith Wharton makes me want to kills myself. If you ever want to torture someone just make them read "Ethan Frome".

I've hever read Frome, but The House of Mirth is good.

Yes one of the best books ever :O
