I did it all, but it was painful.

I really liked The Goldfinch, but was similarly wondering if it was ever going to end.

Great Expectations. In what way is this a good book? I read it twice because it came so highly recommended. I see zero highs in this book. Even 1984 had a cool concept. I hated this book.

One I haven't mentioned to anybody is Maya Angelou's 'i know why the caged bird sings". Not to trivialize what she went through but I really finished the book like seemed like what did I just read. How critical can I be of an autobiography? Especially if it made her who she is? But seeing this put in the same leagues or above invisible man, black boy, native son. I just don't see it.
They're are several others and I hope this doesn't turn into a bash me or bash Maya because I love her other works (especially poetry) but I'm not a fan of that book.
I don't get what you didn't like about it. Be more specific. I didnt like Invisible man. I couldn't even finish it while I know why a caged bird sings was very engaging.
