We're reading Persuasion, In Cold Blood and Atonement for Lit.

But its so boring, none of the characters are likable, the setting is half the time dull and the conflicts are both unrelatable and dismal in terms of its intrigue. Plus its 1920's america, that time period was shit imo. Everyone was just stupid and drunk, they acted as though they were rebels trying things different from there parents yet these changes were very small and they often held alot of the same exact morals that they claimed to reject. Everyone had money and those who did were quite boring, at least to a literary view, which is the best we may ever come to understanding that time period. To top it off, the era was overshadowed by mob bosses (quite a few of them actually) who thought themselves as a force to be reckoned with for bringing alchol across the canadian border, little did they know that these mayors of citys such as chicago allowed there crime to exist because alchol was such a high demand, even from the president himself; the only reason the eighteenth amendment even passed was because prohibition was a side project of the feminist movement, who recently started picking up momentum for womens rights. No one in there heart of hearts believed that banning something everyone wants would just make it go away. Just a stupid time period and a stupid book imo.

No excuse. I have to study a rewritten version of the Illiad. I don't see what's so bad about mob bosses.
