I don't know why but this book was just hard for me to get through. I couldn't even finish reading it, I stopped with like 20 pages left. And it wasn't like I didn't like it, it was interesting. I just think it's too complex for me try to understand right now. It's my English teacher's favorite book and he says it will have a different meaning when we read it now at 20 something then when we read it at 40 something. So maybe I'll feel differently about it if I ever decide to reread it. I'll keep it on my book shelf just in case...
