This! Minus the day or two bit, I had ages to read it.Huckleberry Finn was an annoying read. Mainly because I was forced to read it in a day or two.

I think that The Da Vinci Code is breeding socially acceptible hate... The author's next book is "exposing the truth" about the Freemasons.
Fail. The Torah (Old Testament) is part of the Bible.Bible, Torah, Quran, Maharabta, other religous texts
Really, I thought that it was a really good memoir. Probably a bit overdone on the concept of belonging though.Romulus, My Father
Firstly, Miss Austen -not Mrs Austen as she was never married- was Edwardian, not Victorian-get it right.Mrs. Cherry, unfortunately I am one who has never had the constitution for Dickens. It must also be said, that whilst Mr Dickens' prose is dreary, Mrs Austen's critique of 19th century paradigms is neither insightful nor intelligent. In fact, if I may be so bold, I would say that her writing is utter tripe.
Also, NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE UNFORTUNATE LIVES OF WEALTHY GIRLS WHO HAVE TO MARRY PEOPLE THAT THEY DONT LOVE. Shit, those Victorians struggled to come up with anything else to write about.
The only "OMG VICTORIAN MARITAL PARADIGMS SUCK" book/play/poem that is worth reading is the Importance of Being Earnest.
Oh really? Cool. Still painful as hell though.Firstly, Miss Austen -not Mrs Austen as she was never married- was Edwardian, not Victorian-get it right.
And secondly,the whole point of the novels are that the girls are not wealthy, but they still have enough dignity that they marry for love, which makes Elizabeth and Jane Bennet, and the Dashwoods, and Fanny some of the first feminist characters
Heh, yeh. It was 'alright' imo but the second we started analysing it, it instantly became shit.Don't know if it has been mentioned previously but 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley. It's annoying cause I was supposed to read it for the HSC.

I read that in year 7 and understood none of it but it made my english teachers love me.Wuthering Heights.
It was absolutely horrible.
