S/O Classics
Which classic do you not like?
For me it is The Grapes of Wrath. I just cannot finish that book. I've tried twice.

Interestingly, I disliked Fahrenheit 451in HS, but I recently reread it and loved it. I think I was too immature at the time to understand its themes.

my read shelf:
The Pearl
Sugar & Spice
Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird (I know, flame me. I'm going to try a re-read.)
Heart of Darkness
Moby Dick
Such small books, but both were agonizing to read.
My Badges:
Anna Karenina: I can't seem to get past about 100 pages.
I second/third The Scarlet Letter.
I remember really enjoying Catcher in the Rye but I was in high school and listening to Smashing Pumpkins brought out even extra teen angst to go along with it.
LOL. Yes, I had a similar experience. When I was in middle school, I loved this book. I reread it a couple of years ago, and I kept thinking "get over yourself, kid!"
My Badges:
52 Books in 2014??
My sweet babies:
I was made to read Silas Marner in 8th grade. To this day I have no clue wtf was going on in that book, and I'm also pretty sure I never finished it.
I completely hated P&P when I was made to read it in HS, but I tried again as an adult, and made it through Book the First and Book the Second before I quit. I mean to go back and finish it, I just never feel like it. I no longer hate it, but it's really NMS. At least now I can appreciate that so many people love it so. It's sort of nice if you read it aloud with a British accent, but otherwise, I can't.
Sugar & Spice
I'm actually friends with my HS English teacher on FB and some of us were talking with her one day and she outright apologized for making us read this. :P
my read shelf:
BFP 1/8/11 - U/S 2/24/11 (11wks) no heartbeat measuring 6w1d - D&C 2/28/11
All Jane Austen, not my style. Pride and Predjudice was a CHORE. I've attempted Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility and just can't do it.
