I was a strange child. Apparently I greatly loved this story...I am quite frankly borde by it, now. I like other of Swift's works so much more. This just seems to go on and on. Not sure if I'm going to get through it before its due. With the wait list I can't renew it, either.

GingerAntics A Modest Proposal was great. It was oddly funny and oddly still completely poignant. Admittedly, I have a bit of a twisted sense of humor so that may have had something to do with that assessment. What was not funny was when I had a student who didn't get that it was snark and claimed in a paper that Jonathan Swift believed Irish children should be eaten, actually ate them, and would not be persuaded from this view. Now THAT is twisted. (edited) 6y
BookishBelle I also enjoyed A Modest Proposal much more than Gulliver‘s Travels. I read them both in undergrad. Can‘t remember if I actually finished Gulliver‘s Travels... I think I did. I was much more strict with myself about such things back then. Now I‘ll just bail. 6y
GingerAntics @BookishBelle that's interesting, because I find myself more strict about finishing now than I used to be. lol I think I generally skim when bored just to say I finished. lol That may end up happen with theserial reader, but at least I tried. 🤷🏼‍♀️ (edited) 6y
BookishBelle That‘s the spirit!! Lol 6y

This was read to me long ago, but I don't remeber it. I remeber watching a TV movie version of it when I was quite young. So excited to listen to this classic story once again.
