My 17 year old daughter is struggling with The Awakening now, but I'll bet she loves it in 20 years.

I nearly choked on my cookie. They read it 30 years ago in high school and still hate it, despite not having read it as an adult. I was incredulous and tried to convince them to read it again. Sometimes I think requiring young people to read classics might be a mistake.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-6055564263885721452010-08-18T16:06:10.922-04:002010-08-18T16:06:10.922-04:00I have this book in my piles somewhere.
