I can't stand a lot of other "classic" works for the same reason; for instance, The Lord of the Rings. Have never been able to finish it and probably never will unless someone pays me to do it (and that tome is worth a hefty investment, let me tell you!).<BR/><BR/>I also tend to like somewhat more subtle ideas books that require a little more sleuth-work on the part of the reader to figure out the message rather than being beat over the head with it.<BR/><BR/>But that's just me :)Sara J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13822624137036671213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-21002270423259501612008-10-24T07:21:00.000-05:002008-10-24T07:21:00.000-05:00Yes, my use of the word "generations" was greatly ...Yes, my use of the word "generations" was greatly exaggerated. After all, I´m 10-15 years old than some of you guys; I could be an older brother, but never a father. I guess that´s a matter of taste, after all - as Dark Wolf just said, it depends on your package (elegant explanation, Wolf! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-11455283290784418942008-10-24T04:53:00.000-05:002008-10-24T04:53:00.000-05:00I don't despise thought-provoking narratives, on t...I don't despise thought-provoking narratives, on the contrary. But like all the readings and readers it depends on the person (reader) and in my case on the package (reading) :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-51814036379855259462008-10-24T00:12:00.000-05:002008-10-24T00:12:00.000-05:00It might be, although there really isn't that much...It might be, although there really isn't that much of a difference in age between me and the others (I think it's 1-5 years total).
