aulsmith : Skipping. Too much blubber.
rainpebble : puts my brain in a muddle no matter how many attempts I make to read it.
amanda4242: I read it and discovered that I could quite happily have gone through life without having read it.
sturlington : Read in college.
JalenV: Read twice for different classes (one definitely in college), chose it the second time because I remembered enough from dfiscussing it the first time I figured it would help the second. (Still wonder if that preacher who appeared early in the book gave the same sermon every Sunday.)
Aprill: I love Melville's writing.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Interesting.
MyFathersDragon: I liked the book in 5th grade, but when I tried rereading in 11th grade, I didn’t find it interesting enough to read it, perhaps because I had previously read it.

ahef1963 : I don't like Poe, except for The Raven.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read.
MyFathersDragon: I read a few of his poems in 3rd and 4th grade, liking them, so I read more of Poe when I came across him over the next few years, including this one. I don’t remember it well, now, but I remember liking it. It seems like that was in 6th grade.
