That's the best feeling, you finally get to read something YOU want to read

Oh yeah, for sure. Five weeks with nothing to do, and rainy days keeping me inside- definitely get to some pleasure reading I've been meaning to get around to.

You know, I found myself thinking the same thing. Then summer rolls around or Christmas break comes, and I don't want to read anything because my face has been crammed in books all semester. I've been taking a break from school for months now and have only manage to finish one book. This may be due to my anxiety of finishing books I love for fear that they will end. Fuck, maybe I'm just lazy ...

I read it as part of my 5th year personal study in English. I really never liked it :(.
I just found it extremely boring, I really wanted to love it since everyone else liked it.
And with a book if I don't get into it I stop reading, with this I had to keep going. I've still got it somewhere, and I'll read it again since your opinion of it is so high, I really do hope I love it second time round.
