I haven't read either of those yet but they're definitely on my classics list!Laura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-34854489735261533792016-06-04T12:30:22.307-07:002016-06-04T12:30:22.307-07:00You know, despite my penchant for reading older bo...You know, despite my penchant for reading older books and classics, I haven't gotten around to reading The Great Gatsby yet. My favorite classic is a tie between The Picture of Dorian Gray and Rebecca.<br />~ Litha NelleLitha Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350209887646891024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-76169932347082885622016-05-29T20:26:32.239-07:002016-05-29T20:26:32.239-07:00I think just the act of being forced to read somet...I think just the act of being forced to read something makes you like it a whole lot less. I was forced to read Brave New World and 1984 in my 11th grade English class and I hated them. However, I think if I read them of my own volition now, I would like them a little more! I really hope you like the book if you end up giving it a shot!Laura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-2513801123287619642016-05-29T19:16:32.221-07:002016-05-29T19:16:32.221-07:00This is definitely a classic I should revisit now ...This is definitely a classic I should revisit now that I'm grown up. I didn't think too fondly of it when I was forced to read it for summer reading for 9th grade English, but rare indeed is the required reading that is enjoyable when you're a contrarian who likes to read but doesn't like to be told what to read. I loved the movie, wonder if I could love the book?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-34798081529588410572016-05-29T17:55:15.155-07:002016-05-29T17:55:15.155-07:00:D I imagine that's how most students get thr...:D I imagine that's how most students get through (I'm a fan of reading all of the classics so I didn't).

I watched the Robert Redford movie instead. (That's how I did things back then.) I want to read the book now, though. I think I might enjoy it, but I'm not sure.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-45794773375387572242016-05-28T20:45:34.468-07:002016-05-28T20:45:34.468-07:00I've only seen the movie so far.
