Only one is required, I'm just being a nerd.

I saw the...I've never read Pride and Prejudice. I saw the movie (the Keira Knightley version) but I don't think that quite counts. ;)<br /><br />MOST BORING BOOK EVER Award has to go to Little Women, though. I got halfway through at least three times and then had to give up because I wanted to shoot myself in the leg just to add some excitement. Admittedly, the last time I gave it a good effort was at least three years ago, but I have flipped through it recently and - yep - still boring. Why is this a "beloved American classic?" I believe people when they say it's good/a masterpiece/touching/whatever, but the point is IT IS SO BORING. F'ing hell.<br /><br />Anyhoo, good luck wiff yo summer reading. Agreed, nonfiction is largely dull, but I suppose it makes you smarter... somehow. You have a huge reading list compared to mine, though. We only ever have to read one English book over the summer and then do work related to it. This year it's Song of Solomon for me & the other IB 11th graders. We do have to write commentaries and shit, but still. Y'alls in Illinois are overachievers. ;)Vitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329770892420870801noreply@blogger.com
