I made it through Catcher in the Rye, but I don't know if I would've if it hadn't been for a grade. I hate to be stereotypical, but the one that I just could not do was Moby Dick. I tried. I tried valiantly. It got to the point where I was slogging along without absorbing anything I was reading just so I could say that I'd read Moby Dick. When I realized that was what was happening, I said, "Fuck it," and put it back on the shelf.
