The usual suspects, e.g Animal Farm and suchlike.
Supposed "literature".
I can say with certainty I was able to read MobileRead for a long period but couldn't manage to manage Animal Farm.  |
I liked Animal Farm but I couldn't do 1984.
@FatGuy, you are putting the cart before the horse again.
If you are thinking "why is this important or what will I get out of it" before reading, you will get absolutely nothing out of it.
Quit thinking and just read.
True story, I talked to my mother last night. She is going to college. Anyway she is having to read a story that she is not liking. The darn thing is only 20 pages. She was trying to figure a way to get through it. My best advice was just read 2 pages at a time.
Remember what I told you in pm. Something is only as important as you make it.
You cannot know if something will have meaning to you until you read it.
So don't think about what you should get out of something. Unless of course you are making cookies or a cake. Those you should know the end result when you start.
