Heh. I had to read _Tess_ in high school. Wrote an essay in an exam explaining how much I thought the book sucked. Unfortunately my teacher was a major Thomas Hardy fan (been on pilgramages to England, ekcetra). Didn't do so well on that test :-/
(my other memory of that book is sitting reading, then suddenly thinking: "WTH is going on here?" I would have to turn back about 4-5 pages before I found something I actually remembered reading)
I reread _Treasure Island_ recently -- quite disappointed that it's not on the list!
