I’m a little embarrassed to say I haven’t read this book yet. Considering it’s a classic but then again I haven't really read any classics. I specifically want this cover because It is the only good one I have seen.  It seems to have pretty good reviews from all the people I am friends with on Goodreads. (Go friend me there if you haven’t yet!) Sounds like a pretty interesting book and I’m pretty sure I would like. I won’t ever know unless I read it though!

Have you read this book yet? What are your thoughts on it?
