um...i absolutely hated "Scarlet Letter", had to read it in high school. i just quit after the 3rd chapter, and BSed my way to an A on the test. although i found it really funny how overly fond of the word "ignominy/ignominious" Hawthorne was. also, this book called "Fortress of Eagles" by CJ Cherryh. gave up after 50 pages, because she thought it would be rad to write all of the dialogue in middle english. now believe me, i love shakespeare, but the fact that she went out of her way to do it was just pompous. and she did a shitty job of it too.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
