Autumn

1. Read one chapter first to get a feel for the rhythm of the prose before deciding whether to read closely, so you don't give up midway because of the slow start
2. Read the autumn landscape descriptions alongside the characters' situations, and note how seasonal imagery drives emotional turns
3. Read with background material on early twentieth-century American literature to help understand the work's historical context
4. After each chapter, jot down your impressions in two or three sentences, so you can later review character relationships and emotional threads
