Sorry if i spelled the second wrong, i just call it Tess.

Our summer reading includes those two books for my english class, i was wondering if any of you all have read either.

Personally even though i know moby dick is a classic, it has got to be one of the most disorganized, and blatantly boring books i have ever read. No one else seems to realize that melville totally stole his writing style from his mentors, and jumbled it up into a big fat mess called "Moby Dick." The book makes me want to cry in exasperation about how uninteresting and out right sickening it is. Why is it a classic? In my opinion its classic status is simply because of its cetology and simply how ****ing weird it is.

As for Tess, i am yet to read it, but its Thomas Hardy, so im sure itll be pretty boring as well.

And yes i do appreciate good literature, but i prefer not to read books because they are a mastery of the english language, but because they are fun to read or i will learn something very practical and be able to use what i have learned for something i want to do. But then again i generally don't find those types of books that boring.

what do you all think?
