Answer for question 4460.
[Error: unknown template qotd]I tried to read Gone With the Wind. I couldn't do it. I got, oh, I don't know, a hundred pages in? I kept waiting for it to get good. It didn't. I was big into the Civil War for a while, but... nope.
The only book in school that I was supposed to read that I didn't was Jane Eyre. I think I read, maybe five pages. As soon as it was clear to me that this was more Bronte (I did struggle through Wuthering Heights, probably the most boring book I've ever read - it was like chewing sandpaper bad), I got the Cliff Notes and faked my way through assignments on that one. Got perfectly good marks, but damn. No Bronte.
Sometimes I think I should go back and try Jane Eyre again, because supposedly it's good? But no. Wuthering Heights was so bad that I just can't.
