Well, if I wanted it to roll easily off the tongue... A wordy, awkward title seems suitable to me, though! ;)

And a thousand high school students would be spared that, at least. *nods sagely*

From one English student to (presumably) another, THIS SO MUCH. Good God it is dreadful.

(Close enough.) There were very few books on any curriculum that I ever hated having to read. This one, though...

I agree. I know it's supposed to be a masterpiece and everything, but, God, it was soooooooo boring. I love books but I can't stand reading this one, I kept checking how many pages were left to the end of the chapter, and so on, and so on... At some point I actually started writing a fanfiction story on the blank pages at the end of the book. As far as I can remember I haven't erased it before returning to the library and I wonder what the next reader of the book thought, seeing my scribblings XD

It's one of the ones I wish they'd bar from the curriculum on the basis that it makes literature look stupid.

Your fanfiction was probably more interesting, even if it was just a teasing little bit!

LMAO you should be put in charge of naming books! Would totally save people wasted time.

...now with added angst lol

I had to do it twice. In a row. My final year of highschool, and my first year of university. My TA in uni did not approve of my describing it as basically being overblown teen angst about how the world sucks and we're all doomed and blah blah blah I'm so deep.

It left an impression. XD
