That book was awesome

Great Expectations is the old day equivalent of soap operas. I especially love how everyone praises his "vividly descriptive style" when in fact he wrote like that just to bulk up chapters to fit into the magazine it was being published in.

I have yet to find any classics I really enjoy. Even Jane Austen, who I adore in theory, bores me in practice. I require in my books a lust and excitement that it seems wasn't appropriate until fairly recently.

I think A Clockwork Orange counts as a classic now. I like that book. Oh, and Heath reminded me about Of Mice and Men. All the other books our teachers forced us to read in high school were boring.

My favorite book series is still the Dragonlance series.

Catcher in the Rye was eh. But I was expecting it too be good. The guy was a total wanker.
