The first I would have liked to read but didn't for some reason I can't recall. The second one I stopped because it was so bloody boring. One day I may convince myself to try Hardy again, but I'm not particularly eager at this point.

That one almost broke my tradition of always reading the assigned summer reading. But I finished it, showed up at school, and on the first day the teacher asked how many actually read that one, apologized for it being chosen (out of his hands), and moved on to other material.
I liked him immediately.
