Just finished "Of Human Bondage" and started "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

I decided to go back and read all the assigned reading I blew off and cheated on when I was younger. I don't think I would have appreciated them the same as a teenager anyway. I think most good literature assigned to High School (and even most college) students can't really be appreciated or even understood at that age. I remember wanting to stick hot needles in my eyes rather than read another page of "Of Human Bondage" when I was in high school. I hated it at the time. I just finished reading it recently, and thought it was great (except the happy ending was a bit of a sell-out).
