I think Lyle's just naked in the bathroom smoking pot whilst Teodor vomits. This is how men bond.

Ethan Frome is a texts for profs who either hate themselves, or as is more common, who hate their students. Oh, where's a sledding accident when you need one?

Ethan Frome is not worth the shit I wiped off my ass with it.
Agreed.
never read a book that was written only in an effort to practice frence. NEVER
*French*
[french accent]
Ah, a depressing story of broken people, trapped in unsatisfying lives...how real ...
As Dickens said: "We forge the chains we wear in life."
[/french accent]
Man, no joke. Damn you, 10th Grade, for introducing me to That Book.
Tell it to the pipes, pal.
That must be why the book stinks, in a literal sense. Because I can't imagine Lyle holding a book like that except perhaps to investigate the source of a stench.
Good christ you're right
EVERY TIME I hear/read the title Ethan Frome I sing the following song in my head, to the tune of Pearl Jam's Evenflow:
Ethan Fro-ome,
Can't drive a sled to save his life!
It's like I'm being tortured by the corniest pun-loving-est corner of my own brain. I've never ever read the damn book (obviously?)
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
(Everyone chubby the above comment)
Singing that in my head made me laugh as hard as "tell it to the pipes, pal."
I'm amazed.
Seriously, that is just a terrible book.
Of all the books I was required to read in school most were good, some I disliked, but could appreciate the cultural value of, a number I really loved, but Ethan Frome was just awful. I've never even heard anyone say anything even remotely good about it. Why in the hell does that shit continue to show up in the curriculum at so many schools? Same thing with A Separate Peace
Yes, A Separate Peace , you read it waiting for some stuff to start happening, and before a real character can even show up, someone dies and the book ends.
No New Englander tries to kill himself by sledding into a tree. This is because we have all run face first into trees and lived.
I sat in a tenth grade classroom of Yankees thinking, "Seriously? Sledding accident. You're a moron. My kid brother put a ski mask on backwards and ran face first into an oak, broke two ribs and split his head wide open and he's still taking college prep courses. This is bull."
...still taking college prep courses (despite the fact that he graduated college 3 years ago, before the sledding accident). This is bull.
