  1. i've always loved that book. our teacher made us read it senior year, along with: the handmaids tale, hamlet, and their eyes were watching god. although i didn't actually read the latter. i think there were others too but now i can't remember them, seeing as it was TEN YEARS ago. ježuš maria. anyway, my teacher loved to exist too.
