Although required reading in high school, I only managed to get through this in my adulthood. It still doesn't resonate with me. I just don't get it, or why it's so widely acclaimed. Maybe I need to read it again, but I probably won't. If you're a student having similar difficulties with this book, I'll tell you what my Mom recommended, and she was an English teacher: Get the Cliff notes. (Although I suppose it's all online now.)
