Herland - Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ann J. Lane You know, I really SHOULD have liked this book. It's a classic, thought proking read. It is one of the first feminist novels, it has a special place in history.

But I just COULDN'T DO IT!

It's the characters. They are each of them a stereotype. THis was done on purpose, for a reason, but I didn't care because it was just too much. I couldnt even think of them as their names, I thought of the as the male chauvinist, the sensitive guy, the average guy, the badboy lover, the princess, and the intelligent girl. Right there you see how this is all going to go.

Reading anymore would have been like going on vacation with people you hate. I just couldnt do it to myself.
