[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't finish Little Women or Anne Frank.

[b]I [i]know that for Little Women it is that I don't like that Jo turns down Laurie.[/i]  I thought maybe that when I grew up a bit and reread it as an adult I might see things differently but no...the book falls apart for me then. [/b]

I'd like to read more Hemingway.  I read the Old Man and the Sea and that was it.

I went to a small college prep high school and we were assigned authors but not titles usually.  Of course we went and found the shortest "classic" by each author.  So I've read Tale of Two Cities but nothing else by Dickens.  Typee but not Moby Dick.  Of Mice and Men but not Grapes of Wrath.  Etc...

Never mind that for "light" reading, I plowed through all of Herman Wouk's books, Gone with The Wind, and countless other massive tomes.

You must make yourself finish it.

You will be very happy with what happens for both Laurie and Jo.[/quote]

I'm not so happy with what happens for Jo. [/quote]
