How many times has it taken you to get through the book?

**Rhonda**

I made it only 21 pages the first time and then was like GAH!
So now Im embarking on the second journey... and hoping to make it!!

How about you? How long did it take you to finish?

Hey, Rhonda, I haven't read it since high school, and I'm about as far as you got the first time. My copy has a really long introduction that I read carefully. Now I want to make sure I don't miss anything that Stephenie might give as a discussion topic.

I read page 1 several weeks ago and promptly returned it to the library. I got it again yesterday. I read the introduction portion in CliffsNotes last night and got through chapter one. It was much better having read the cliff notes! I am going to get through it this time!

I would recommend the Cliffnotes. If nothing else to explain some of the hard to understand words and phrase.

I started reading it in early December and lasted 3 weeks, making it 1/2 way through and then gave up. I really want to pick it up again just so I can avoid having to totally admit defeat... And I want to participate!!! I'm not finding the characters so detestable as the style it's narrated in. It was just taking me too long and I don't have that kind of patience anymore! My book also has a lot of footnotes which helps immensely with the... (can't think of the word) dialects?

All the books I read from that era were very proper, respectful, and wholesome. Although I didn't LOVE the book I was kind of amused that someone back then wrote such a shocking, ugly, and crass story. I'm sure there's a lot more out there, but this is a classic. I was not expecting it.
