Yeah, don't read Dickens if you don't like Austen or the Brontes.
And One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich is so amazing.

I shake my head at the list of things you don't like, but I love the ones you have added.

That's not my time period, and you know it. *thwaps* The sort of humor just doesn't appeal to me, and if something would have HAPPENED in the first fifty pages of Jane Eyre I might have kept reading. The reason I won't read P&P is because I have no interest in seeing the movie, and really, if that's the case, why should I try reading the book? *laughs*

And The Scarlet Letter. Dude. *cracks up* That English class was awesome. Chillingworth/Dimmsdale = EWWWW.

I agree with heathskitty -- if you don't like Austen or either of the Brontes, don't touch Dickens. It's painfully obvious that the man got paid per word. XD

The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger
-Seriously, who hasn't read this? Who hasn't liked it?

Uh...me? I haven't read it, I mean. Crazy, huh? I have no right to be called an English major! *SOB*

*laughs* Really? I thought that was THE standard high school reading assignment. Apparently I was misinformed. Seriously? If you have a chance, go read it. I love it so much, and it would probably be even better if you don't have to discuss it every single day.

I liked A Christmas Carol, though, so maybe I'll give Dickens a second chance. It's not like I've ever read Austen or Emily Bronte, but Jane Eyre might have been the most painful thing I ever read.
