          Among books i was suppose to read through high school were The Odyssey, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Cesar, The Hobbit, Things Fall Apart, Killer Angels, Lord of the Flies, the great gatsby, Frankenstein, a Tale of two Cities, Othello, The Great Divorce, The Scarlett Letter, The Crucible, American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic, To Kill a Mockingbird, Huckleberry FInn, and a few others. I never read one. I just listened to lectures in class about what happened in each one and took good notes. I always did well in English because of that.

          In fact i did a small 6 page research paper on White Fang with my thesis coming from what i read from spark notes. I was amazed as was able to have 6 pages of intelligent writing from just spark notes alone. I got a 98 on it. I will never forget that grade because all the hard work i had to put into that for not reading the book.

          I had to buy all those novels so i have a nice looking collection of books. Most are in good condition.

          If i actually read them all I'd have close to 20 books read in 4 years which is mind blowing to me even though some people read a book a week or so.

          I just really cant get into reading. Biographies really interest me but i just cant get the time to do it with so many distractions.

          Sorry i just had to vent about that a bit, its funny to me.

            I'm stuck between

            "I suspected as much"

            and

            "then I guess the 1200 page Atlas Shrugged wouldn't be up your alley.

            as a response.
