It wasn't painful for me, I'd just rather read fantasy. If Hester Prynne was a wizard I would have enjoyed it tremendously.

Well, the Puritan society does think that she is a witch and weird stuff keeps happening around her and Pearl. So, did I make the book exciting to you Pips:😛:?

I remember a friend reading that in school. She said it had some dirty little poem things in it and showed them to me. Is this the right book? Something about the Duchess of Kent? 😉 😀



Does anyone have good memories of reading this book in high school?

Hmmmm, I don't remember the poems. But the whole thing is about the repercussions of sexual encounters, so yeah, it's not exactly a squeaky clean novel.

And yes, I actually loved reading The Scarlet Letter in school. Then again, I also really enjoyed The House of Seven Gables which I elected to read extracurricularly. I'm just completely uncool like that. 😎:😛:

Almost halfway through, good read so far. I work on it usually right before class starts or when I've finished studying while in class.

Again, I'm going to put on my nerd hat and say I absolutely love this book. Such genius.

I would love to be able to say it was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn or Douglas Hofstadter, but actually it's George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones.

That's a good one. I thought the film of the book was pretty good too.
