Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance

I like the sound of this title. who?

and omg i hate pride and prejudice so much. it's boring, full of nonsensical drama and...okay well i only read a few pages and fell asleep so im only trashing it on the grounds that I too, cant stand reading it LOL...

ah you read a lot of books. the only books I like to read are from terry P, Chuck P and Catcher in the Rye LMAO

WOW. You read loads of books dont you? Okay so out of that long list above, i think i read only like 10?

I read Great Expectations and i think Miss Havisham was out of sorts. Well you cant blame her, her husband ran away before the wedding.

And Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen is abit too deep for me to understand i guess XD I read like 20 pages of it and gave up.

I find Ms Havisham a lovely character with her tragic backstory. She's my favourite character in the book anyways. XD

At least you managed to read past page 2 of Pride and Prejudice. lol.

wow. i must be some exception to be able to read through Pride and prejudice twice, despite it not being my lit text. and now that it is i've read it five times and still found some parts hilariously funny.
