Madame Bovary

I confess to being one of those insensitive creatures who are incapable of becoming really emotionally engaged and sympathetic with Emma. I could probably afford to be more understanding or whatever, but ugh, I spent way too much time a) being bored, and b) rolling my eyes at Emma for being such a drama queen. Sorry, I know, I‰ЫЄm a horrible reader and human being, however I will confess that there was some great writing and some really moving parts, even if I can't remember specifically what they were. Also, I think I might have a chronic condition that renders me incapable of appreciating literature translated from the French because I don‰ЫЄt think there are ANY French writers I really love (except for Beckett, who doesn't actually count because he wasn't even French and he often translated his own work). So that's a hypothesis I‰ЫЄll try to disprove one day. Boo to that and boo to me.
