Get the Illustrated Classic version! Used to read the Illustrated Classics of Dickens, Twain, and other big time authors in elementary school for some mad Accelerated Reader Points. If its for an honors class though, you better read the whole thing (but use http://www.freebooknotes.com to help you along the way of course, it has free cliff notes from different websites compiled there)

Summer Assignment!??!! A couple of my teachers tried to pull that bullshyte on me, but there was no way for them to grade it (i'm getting new teachers). Are you actually gonna get substantial credit for reading it?

my guess is it is assignment for next year's teachers, we gotta do that same shizzle, then get a test on it the 1st or 2nd day of school next year...heck yes! Rolling Eyes

I read that book when I was in highschool. Umm...if you can get into it, it's really not that bad (I suppose just like any book...but I liked it). They made a movie version with gwyneth paltrow, robert dinero, and ethan hawke. Check it...

i had to read this book "pilars of the earth" in a two week period, its over a thousand pages with small print. that was a fun book. i would just wait for a rainy day and read every other page. it gets confusing but you learn to understand it.

Mr. Top Hat, ha...i love the old skip pages to read trick. i used to be so good i could read books in a couple hours. then i read one and apparently all the important stuff happened on the odd pages and i read the evens, never new that half the people died lol. good times
