I've also recommended it to many friends who are avid readers, but not as into classics or "literature" as I am. Haven't had any complaints yet. :-)<br />-JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-61514513421883169932014-02-20T17:06:38.660-05:002014-02-20T17:06:38.660-05:00Glad to see this one with four stars Melissa!
