There Is A House

I just finished The House of the Seven Gables, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Liked it, didn't love it.

The House of the Seven Gables
is a densely woven fable
with miscellaneous strengths
and a somewhat padded length.

I like The Scarlet Letter
eight times better.

I read about that and I want to go!

And since my son is living in Boston, I will probably have the opportunity reasonably soon.
