Just curious, why couldn't you finish Souls of Blacks Folk and Invisible Man? And how do you note Invisible Man as both the book(s) you couldn't finish and the book you've been meaning to read? =)

Great Expectations may have been on the required reading list for me in high school. I didn't finish any of the books I was required to read. lol

That html fuck-up really irks me, but at the same time I don't feel like retyping everything out. =/ lol

It was just too dry for me to finish. I think invis man might have been too long. They were both books required for classes, but I never finished them...I'm a little ashamed about it.
