Everybody knows that economics is about measurement and money and things numerical; that's why most of us find it so damned dull.

5.Maurice (Penguin Classics) by: E.M. Forster July 28, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.64
"Maurice" by E.M. Forster is one of my favourite novels. It is so simply and beautifully written and tells a story that all readers will able to relate to in one way or another.

However, when he meets Clive, a fellow student at Cambridge, he realises that he is not alone in his predicament after all.
