hell along those lines why not just read "Mrs Dalloway' or "To the Lighthouse" oe "Catcher in the Rye"..maybe some "Tom Sawyer"..we could also read and discuss "The Lottery"(and then enact the book and randomly stone one of the members to death?)
*I am just bitchy cause I HAD to read M. Bovary during a very busy time and do MULTIPLE reports on the book-resulting in my hating it with a passion. So much so that I have blocked out any memory of what 'Flaubert's Folly'(hee!) is really even about anymore.

no worries, soj. i hate the dumb bitch too lol. i read the damn thing twice and i know the whole point of the thing is that all the characters are perfectly mediocre nobodies and flaubert's 10 000 pages of ocd research notes to write the damn thing and yada, yada, yada but just zola, another french hero i had to study repeatedly in high school, i just can't get into them, even though i know it's practically sacrilege to admit it
