Over all I enjoyed reading Great Expectations. Once I had finished it gave me a feeling of accomplishment and ease. Reading did turn out to be a bit of a stress on all of my other work though, finding the time to read and annotate usually led to late nights of sitting in my bed with my lonesome self trying to stay awake to finish the last few chapters and find some piece of information worthy of one of my awesome sticky notes. I felt good knowing that I didn't need any help solving any of the mysteries from spark notes or people who had read the book before. In the end I think I enjoyed Dickens style of writing and may try some of his other novels.
My nightly reading would usually consist of finishing all of my other extremely boring homework while trying to procrastinate and distract myself from doing any form of work. After this was done I would go and get a snack, change into my pajamas, climb into bed and start my reading. Usually I was mostly caught up so I only had about twenty pages to read. Those pages sometimes seemed like the longest I had ever read at times. Eventually I would finish though at around 10:00 and at this point I could rest my tired eyes and get ready to do it all over again the next day.
Boy...I cannot wait for Romeo and Juliet.
