I actually liked “Catcher In the Rye”. The one that killed me was “Silas Marner”. The only thing I remember learning from that is the difference between “Petite Mal” and “Grand Mal” seizures.
Someone once said something to the effect that in “Russian literature the boy neither wants the girl, nor gets the girl,” but somehow the author gets 1500 pages out of this.

If it’s the count’s “War in Peace”, Peter, you’d better skim the approximate 1300 pages pretty fast in those 45 minutes.

Reminds me of Woody Allen: “I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”
