There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Madame Bovary had no effect on me at all. I read it, was entertained while I read it, and then forgot it.
Heather is me. Also with the Portia- and Camino Real-love.
I finally get to see Master and Commander tonight! I had to wait until Z was out of town, as he has unspecified objections to seeing it.
Oh, oh! The Awakening sucks. I haven't read Madame Bovary yet.
I have some Awakening ok-ness. But I'd rather read The Yellow Wallpaper. I haven't read Madame Bovary, though.
Honestly, as an English Lit major, there is a shocking amount of things I haven't read.

t gasps I love The Awakening.

Oh, "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a thousand times better than The Awakening. Gilman makes her story creepy and psychologically compelling. Chopin makes her story BORING AS ALL FUCK.

English major here. Similar boat.
I like both The Awakening and Madame Bovary.
The "Infinite Jest" thing is rather a modern version of the same. If it doesn't make some sense in the next fifty pages...I may abandon it, especially since the guy that recommended it is all interested in some other chick, anyway.ETA: Dana is me. I wrote a paper on "The Yellow Wallpaper" though.
Dana's a freak.
Camel-lover.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is like "To Room Nineteen" -- well-written and so close to the bone I never want to read it again.
