The Scarlet Letter

I was supposed to read this one in high school but from discussions we had in class I came to understand that this woman was being punished for doing something that 16 year old Dru couldn't stop thinking about. So I tried to find the sex scenes and found out that Hawthorne could make a pubescent boy bored by sex.

David Copperfield

I couldn't see how reading about the Statue of Liberty disappearing was going to be all that exciting. His live show is much more exciting.

Pride and Prejudice

I've seen enough of the movie and enough of the girls around me telling me how Mr. Darcy is their dream man to realize I would just get jealous of Mr. Darcy if I read this book. Vanity goes a long way, people.

The Holy Bible

I started this one but it seriously needed a good editor and rewrite. I mean, I'm no genius but even I know that long sentences of begetting and begotting can really be simplified. First rule of writing: cut the fat! Kill your darlings! C'mon God! Get the memo!
