The scarlet letter was so up there. Though I found you could read the first line and last line out of the paragraphs since everything else was discription. Made it a much faster read. I see him now screaming, "Must pad the short story"
I have to say and I know I'll get roasted for it, ANY James Joyce novel. Someone that gets into the world record book for longest run on sentence should not have had a successful book. I got 10 points taken off papers for one line that needed a comma. That is un far, I could have been the next prick writer that snows people into thinking he is cutting edge. Ohh lovely to know some guy wrote a book that busted Joyce's record. I still hate Joyce for getting published.

lol my friend would hurt you for that but i havent read any of joyce to form a decent opinion (last post i swear). but hawthorne just loves tor ant about how clever he is in the scarlet letter with all his run on scentences and fragments and omg DIE HAWTHORNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KillJoy:
the great thing about books if you don't like them don't read them. In like the radio where people can crank it up and share music you don't like with you, books are more of a quiet thing done through your own effort.

i agree (ahahaha i LIED) but the scarlet letter, and all the other ones i mentioned, were for school so i HAD to read them. plus i have this thing that once i start something i have to finish it. oh i forgot to add daphne dumaurier's rebecca. that book i havent finished and it took me 5 years to get past chapter 1
