Heart of BORING

Ok, so I am not going to spend much time on this one at all, because I don't want to bore myself any further. Here it is:

Title: The Heart of Darkness
Author: Joseph Conrad
My start date: 10/15/10
My finish date: 10/17/10
Book count: 61

Following my delightful indulgence with my shopaholic books, I returned to the classics for just a little longer. I had recently found a copy of Conrads famous text at my favorite shopping sales event (Seattle Friends of the Library Book Sale!!!) and figured that for 50 cents I couldn't pass it up. This is one of those books that if you haven't read it everyone looks at you like you are utterly uneducated and worthless. Especially if you are a PhD student in Literature. I thought they might run me out of the school, so I figured I better read it.

I went into the reading pretty enthusiastically, because, as you may have noticed, I have been having great success with these great works of the classical canon as I am reading them for pleasure. I saw no reason why Conrad's contribution to literature should be any different. But it was. I can't even really pinpoint why I disliked so much to write about it. I could barely stay awake through it and found nothing whatsoever to latch on to in my reading. This is why I can't even find what to write about it! I never connected with it at all!

Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Sorry I don't have more to say, but this one was just no good for me. Moving on.

My next classical work was vastly more pleasing. Check it out next!

Keep reading!
