I thought 'to kill a mockingbird' was a great book, and Silas Marner was OK. If you want something to complain about try reading "the awakening". All we read my senior year in my advanced placement english class was what I consider to be feminist trash. Not to say I am against feminism and women's rights and such, which I am most definitely for, just that the books we read were just trash, and they happened to all be about feminism. If I see another Jane Austin book, or "tess of the durbervilles(sp)" again I'm going to grab it and toss it in the closest fire I can find. Those are the kind of books that make me reconsider my opinion of "farenheight 451". Im so glad I lucked out and got a cool class this time.
