    Default Damn book made me weep

    ...WITH UTTER FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Has anyone lived to read the end of Vanity Fair? I sacrificed a summer and only read HALF OF THE BOOK! It just doesn't end!!! I reached the bit when Becky was wondering whether to welcome Napolean or flee.

    Has any one else read a book which refused to end?


    :whaaa: I've adopted this smiley

    A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is definitely not the longest book I've read, it's 500 pages and the longest book I've read was about 800, but it just would not end. It was good though.

    Watership Down.

    It was kind of long, but it confused me to no end with it's rabbit language, so I just wanted the damn thing to end, and it took a while, since I usually read slower when I read a book unwillingly.

    Lord of the god damned Rings. I could not get through that book no longer how hard I tried. Also, Interview With the Vampire. With both of those books, I completely dug the story but the style of writing had me wanting to pull my eyes out and eat them. The size of a book really doesn't matter to me at all -- you just need to keep me interested the whole time. *clings to George RR Martin*

    Becky Sharp!

    Don't get me wrong, I haven't read a word of Vanity Fair, I just had to write a paper on Becky Sharp and how she would live in real life in the world of today. Man am I glad I'm finished with that paper.

    The Bear and the Dragon-Tom Clancy
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan
