the bible made me cry...after i finished reading it i realised i had too much time. It failed to teach me the ways of the christian. I guess if i wanted to read a book that believed in stupid shit i coulda read twatlight.

If it was not explicit, this was a joke.

Just because they're in English syllabi and are on the best seller's list, doesn't always mean they're terrible books. Twilight, yeah, pretty terrible. But some are there because they actually deserve to be.

Personally, all old-ish writers tend to annoy me. I couldn't be bothered even finishing Wuthering Heights and didn't particularly enjoy Frankenstein. It's all very... whiny, I find.

I read Frankenstein two years before I had to study it for the HSC just because I wanted to read it. Some people like reading classic novels.
