JalenV: Had to read it in high school.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Hated. Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: I knew some of the high school English classes read it. I knew it was considered a classic. So, I decided I would read it. I did not like it. I am glad I read it, so I know what people are talking about when they bring it up, but I wouldn’t read it again.

Explications
tiddleyboom: I know the whole plot and resolution of Jane Eyre; I've just never read the book.
JalenV: I have read this book so many times since I was a school girl. However, it wasn't until PBS first aired "I, Claudius" that I understood that "West Indies Messalina" insult.
Aprill: Enjoyed it.
ahef1963: A favourite.
MyFathersDragon: It was available when I was reading anything I could find. I reread it in high school.

Explications
aulsmith : Skipping. Too much blubber.
rainpebble : puts my brain in a muddle no matter how many attempts I make to read it.
amanda4242: I read it and discovered that I could quite happily have gone through life without having read it.
sturlington : Read in college.
JalenV: Read twice for different classes (one definitely in college), chose it the second time because I remembered enough from dfiscussing it the first time I figured it would help the second. (Still wonder if that preacher who appeared early in the book gave the same sermon every Sunday.)
Aprill: I love Melville's writing.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Interesting.
MyFathersDragon: I liked the book in 5th grade, but when I tried rereading in 11th grade, I didn’t find it interesting enough to read it, perhaps because I had previously read it.

tiddleyboom : Read it. Loved it.
.Monkey. : Read it. Disliked.
amanda4242: Read it twice and hated it twice.
JalenV: Had to read it for High School and hated it. I read The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Found her inserted characters and the magic interesting, still hated the Gatsby sections.
Aprill: Read it.
ahef1963: Read it; didn't really like it.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.

.Monkey. : Read it. Hated it.
sturlington : Read in college
JalenV: I have, and have read, my copy. I was already familiar with the plot thanks to The Classics Reclassified by Richard Armour.
aekd: Not likely to read.
ahef1963: Loved it.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Nearly everything else he wrote is better.
MyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.

amanda4242: Read in college.
electrice : read in 2013
JalenV: It's been decades, but watching the Overly Sarcastic Productions video about it on YouTube reminded me of details I'd forgotten, not to mention making me chuckle.
MyFathersDragon: I received it as a gift when I was about 12, so of course I read it. I reread it several years later, too.

MyFathersDragon: We read the Secret Sharer in English class, but on the other side of it (upside down from each other) was this one, so I read it because it was available. The book also described it as a Joseph Conrad classic. I was determined to read lots of books considered classics when I was in high school.

JalenV: My younger siblings and I used to play Hill House when we were kids in the 1960s after watching the 1963 film. My paperback copy is fragile now, so I bought and read a hardcover copy.
ahef1963: Excellent.

sturlington : Not sure I would call this a classic
JalenV: I read it decades ago. That bit about not wanting to admit that Christ was poor rings true because I have a 19th century book on the lives of Saints Joseph, Joachim, and Anne. That book didn't want to talk about Joseph's poverty, but that he was descended from King David.
ahef1963 : Hated it twice. My dad loved it so much that I gave it a second try, but still hated it.

Explications
dara85: Great book

Explications
dara85: Didn't like it.
auntSteelbreaker : Read it, loved it.
electrice : read in 2014
JalenV: When I was in elementary school, my parents gave me a boxed set with a printed copy of the book and an audio copy on vinyl records (I'm 69). I've read it several times, but I like my annotated Alice better.
