Are there any books that you are forced to read (for example, school) and they just make you fall asleep? Or vice versa; have you read any books for class that were actually interesting?

You've got to be kidding me (in regards to Things Fall Apart). Seriously, the only reason I can come up with for anyone saying this is because the names are somewhat confusing since it is an African novel; I mean, I had to make an entire chart of all the characters and their relations to Okonkwo, but really the book is fantastic once you get the hang of it.
ANYWAY, in total contrast to African commentary, read Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. I couldn't even get through the first page without getting lost. Then, read Chinua Achebe's article analyzing it. |
