minus-squareIcalasarilinkfedilink2•5 months agoI read it as a kid via Great Illustrated Classics, which are adaptations made to be easier to read to get children into classics e.g. “a damp, drizzly November in my soul” and “bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet.” gets paraphrased to, “whenever life got me down.” Might be a good way to finally read it?
