I 2 balt. All I remember is a someone getting on a sled, possibly drunk, and seriously getting mangled. I was optimisitic bc I thought there might be sex in it when I picked it up. Total letdown. I am told that I should read that Wharton book on society and the mannered folks of turno f the century NYC, but I feel like it would be like watching an old movie that has been improved on. I have also never read V. Woolf for the same reason (and avoided her in HS and college)
