Wow, I kind of liked Too the Lighthouse and I loved, loved, loved The Bell Jar, but I'm a girl. For some reason I've always thought of Moby Dick as a book for boys. The last book I started but didn't finish was Flaubert's Sentimental Education. A few years ago Dawson's Creek, of all embarrassing things, made this book sound like it would be a favorite of mine. I was expecting ubercool philosophical bits that I could use for the rest of my life's journey. (Yes, I watch too much TV.) There was too much searching involved in order to find those nuggets.
