<p>Hopeful_gtb - I loved Heart of Darkness. My AP Lit teacher ended up telling me that I was the only student she’d ever had that would admit to that, but it’s true. I think most people didn’t like it because it’s extremely dense, and a lot more like poetry than prose. Almost every line of the book is packed with meaning, so skimming doesn’t really cut it.</p>
<p>My reading load right now is [supposed to be] Heart of Darkness [but I’ve already finished it], ~20 pages of our college Euro textbook each night, a poem or two by Catullus each night [lololol I’m only including that because it takes some time for translating into English], and then I suppose personal reading is The Secret Agent - Joseph Conrad, and Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams [thanks doomster, lolololol].</p>
