Figures.

I tried to read Moby Dick when in my late 20's.
Couldn't get more than a couple chapters.

Not on the list but tried A Tale of Two Cities as an adult also. Same result.

Guess I'm just not that 'sophisticated'.

ATOTC is one of Dickens' worst but Moby Dick is hilarious. Especially the beginning.

Though most of my class hated MOby (if they even read it) I LOVED it.

How anyone could think A Tale of Two Cities boring is beyond me. You must not like to read.
