We had to read it in 8th grade so perhaps I'd get more of the supposed wonderfulness now, but the memory is so distasteful that it won't be happening. I have over 1000 unread books that actually seemed interesting to me anyway.

How about that! I had to read that story in grade 8 too. I gave it a bad review, and my teacher laughed when he read it. He accepted that I didn't like the story. I'm sorry, I cannot relate to stories where nothing really happens, unless it's an episode of Seinfeld.
