[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]31.  One of those books nearly killed my joy for reading.  I was an avid reader until I came across that monster in 10th grade -- I didn't pick up another book for pleasure until I was 23.  [/quote]

Let me guess... Ulysses?[/quote]

I'm guessing Moby Dick.[/quote]

That was my guess too - it certainly felt very long to me. I have to admit that I skipped a lot of the "blubber".

My reading has picked up a great deal since the kids started sleeping through the night and since I got a Kindle. Especially when it comes to the classics - I love it that they are free and available for immediate download. I have quite a long list all loaded and ready to go, all for $0![/quote]

LOL, actually if I remember, it was the 1-2 punch of Great Expectations followed by Moby Dick.  Dicken's writing style was extremely tedious to me, and then Moby Dick just put my reading hobby on life support.  I've heard both are better reads as adults, maybe I'll pick them up again.....one day[/quote]
