I went to parochial school and so this book was on the taboo list and I didn't have to read it for school and in college my lit classes were more old literature so again, didn't have to read it. Don't know what the big deal was but I know my dad hated it!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610197634075184793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-88757117379760329442010-01-29T12:34:31.903-05:002010-01-29T12:34:31.903-05:00I'm taking a class at University Young Adult L...I'm taking a class at University Young Adult Literature and we read this book and discussed it this week.

She's well-read, but I've never been able to talk with her about literature. Not deeply enough to row over it, anyhow. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853399114244490518noreply@blogger.com
