I was supposed to read Gulliver's travels a couple semesters ago, but seeing as this was for a Gen Ed, I did what any other student would do and just read sparknotes. At face value it seemed pretty boring, but I'm reading some more small excerpts and small quotes and really find myself agreeing with them quite a bit.
I don't always read books, but when I do, they're about philosophy and corruption. Yes, I actually liked Catcher in the Rye...
