I'm halfway (sigh!) through W.M. Thackeray's "Vanity Fair." It's 739 pages long, and I'm only mildly interested in the characters, their problems, and the entire novel.

However, it is on the list of "books to read." I'm looking for some inspiration, other than

a. I should read it, and
b. I'll be proud of myself when I'm finished.

This is how I felt about reading "Moby Dick."

Has anybody actually finished this book?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm doing a research paper for English 1302- My topic is Overcoming life's obstacles... I'm using poems, and so far I have found: "On a Tree Fallen Across the Road" and " The Road Not Taken" by. Robert Frost... I'm looking for poems that may fit this pattern: conflict, stagnancy, resolution- I open to any advice or resources that may be helpful!! Thanks!!! =0P

And, do you know if "Shopgirl" by Steve Martin is an appropriate book to read, like mature enough for 11th grade, but appropriate enough to read for school?

Anyways please recomend a good book for students entering 11th grade?... I want something interesting, like a cute teen romance novel or something of that sort.

Gloss "Extravagantes" o.f Pope John XXII *** inter, Tit. XIV, Cap. IV. Ad Callem Sexti Decretalium, Paris, 1685

It's for an argument.
How anyone came across a copy of such an arcane text is beyond me, as is the potential for checking it.

Thanks.

Ok, its a Georgette Heyer novel. (Or atleast I think it is)
Time Period: 18th century.

The story goes, that this guy is kind of forced into marrying this girl, who at the time is not very pleasing to look at. She wears spectacles as her eyesight has deteriorated because of all the books she reads.

Anyhoo, she tries to make herself more attractive, and somehow succeeds and meets her husband at this ball. He doesn't recognize her, but falls in love with her, and asks him to be her mistress. She is shocked but goes along with the charade.

Aparently all is revealed at the end.

Sound familiar? Anything? Anything at all?

I read books, short ones from lemony snicket to ian fleming, to long ones such as Da Vinci Code and Harry Potter, but I always read so slowly, and it takes me forever to get through even the most simplest book. Any tips on how to speed read and enjoy a book?
