On Beauty – Zadie Smith – We’ve already established that Libras love beauty. They love to feel beautiful, see the inherent beauty in others, and find beauty in the hidden and the mundane. The characters in Smith’s novel On Beauty are, however, seemingly unbeautiful. They are deeply flawed, messy, and biased. Smith’s modern-day retelling of E.M. Forster’s Howards End will hook you with its humor. But you’ll stay until the last page with its rumination on marriage, academia, politics, and, of course, what makes something or someone beautiful.
