We had to read As I Lay Dying at school.  Ugh.  Surely I can't be the
only one to think it a waste of good paper?  I never finished reading it*,
which is very rare indeed.  In fact, the only other book on my shelves
I never finished reading is Mein Kampf, and for the same reason - the
author showed no ability to write.

* - no doubt one of the reasons I failed English Lit :-)
