[classified]

My daughter read this assigned book for one of her Junior classes in High school this year and I decided to try and read it before she did. Have to say it was difficult but interesting. Didn't read it all the way thru. Difficult...I didn't tell her that though.

"Have to say it was difficult ... but interesting"

It shows the failure of our public school system,

and the destruction of our language.

You bought one printed in French, didn't you? (only kidding).
What did your daughter think of Democracy in America? (I assume that is the book you refer to). And you really should pick it back up and give it another try. More than likely it isn't the subject or content but rather how he wrote that bored you. Try rereading it a small part at a time.
Years ago, I was in an antique shop/bookstore and found a very old copy, it's in English though so I never thought it would be worth anything.
