I have to read A Tale of Two Cities next year for IB lit, which shall suck. I started it before, but it was dreadfully dull since Dickens got paid by the word. I'm not looking forward to that. I can make it though most books, but I never managed to finish Wuthering Heights, either. Unlike just about everyone else I know, I actually liked Jane Eyre, but then again, it could be because I was raised to, like Gone With the Wind, which was also good. I wouldn't really count Orwell as classic, but 1984 and Animal Farm were great, of course. (Some of his essays weren't bad either.) I do loathe Huck Finn and The Hobbit is ridiculously tedious. The Great Gatsby was great, no matter what the juniors who are reading it now say. The Jungle was a lot better than I expected. I should have taken the time to really read it. Damn my procrastination. Was it just me, or did The Scarlet Letter not have much of a plot? Vastly disappointing. I thought it was about the adultery, not the lack of anything that occured afterwards. Farenheit 451 was good. I need to finish Catch-22, but what I've read thus far was quite funny. What else have I read...?
