For the 4th time, as I'm doing some research for a project. Have any of the previous three time been for fun? I ask because I often see it on reading lists but rarely do I find people reading it when it's not for a class. |

The first two times I read it for fun. Third and fourth have been project related, though I willingly do so.
I love this book.

I tried. I'll give it another shot, though, it's almost like Shakespeare, just without the iambic pentameter. |
