I wrote a deep meaningful essay on Heart of Darkness when I was in school - my teacher wrote on it that he always was pleased when one of the books he had us read actually touched a student's heart and mind, and clearly the book was important to me. I never read it - I just opened the book at random, picked a quote, and riffed on it. I've always felt a bit guilty for misleading my english teacher that way, because I liked him in general (just not his taste in books, which was for the depressing - if it wasn't depressing, it wasn't "meaninigful" I guess.)
closer to now, I never finished Wise Man's Fear.
