Having gone over and over this book many multiple times in preparation for our English Lit. exam last year, I'm thoroughly sick of it, and its many references to the ...

I'll have to read that sometime. Your description of him and his writing style makes me think of Dickens. Very innovtive to the point where the general public can't take ...
