Erklärungen
JalenV: I listened to an audio copy from my local library. I was amazed by how much punishment poor Oliver's body takes near the end and he managed to survive. Nice kid -- interesting, considering his upbringing.
ahef1963: Too depressing for my liking.
Arrashid7: I read in high school. A great book! A tip ~ don't ever watch movies first!
MyFathersDragon: I was bored in 6th grade and read anything I could get my hands on. I liked Dickens, so I read a lot of his stories.

Erklärungen
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.

Erklärungen
JalenV: I've read it a couple of times. It's not as dull as Mansfield Park, but I can't say I like it much. I hope Emma and the Werewolves will be more fun.
ahef1963: Probably my least favourite Austen work, but still better than most other books of the period.

gilroy : Faulkner is a dated writer. He was fine when he was first published, but unless you're a literary scholar, not worth the struggle.
aulsmith : Read As I Lay Dying and will never touch Faulkner again.

Erklärungen
sturlington : Not sure I would call this a classic
JalenV: I read it decades ago. That bit about not wanting to admit that Christ was poor rings true because I have a 19th century book on the lives of Saints Joseph, Joachim, and Anne. That book didn't want to talk about Joseph's poverty, but that he was descended from King David.
ahef1963 : Hated it twice. My dad loved it so much that I gave it a second try, but still hated it.
