Reading Moll Flanders for literature class, not sure how much I like this...
Hm, I've read an excerpt from Candide, and it doesn't seem too bad compared to how obnoxiously difficult Daniel Defoe wrote Moll Flanders, who apparently thought it brilliant to write everything in vernacular, un-literary, and plain language of the time and decides to ride everything on strong journalistic accuracy and a strong voice to tell this story; hell, I think I found Shakespeare's Macbeth that my class read last month a more comfortable read than this read that makes me feel butthurt everytime I read it. I think I might decide to look into Candide for the heck of it someday.
