Great Expectations was, I think, the only book I absolutely refused to read in high school--I'm pretty sure I faked my way through whatever test we had to take, I hated it so much. And then the Ethan Hawke movie came out after I'd finished college and I thought to myself, "The book has got to be better than this piece of crap," which led me to try the book again. Nowadays that one's still not one of my favorites of his (I much prefer David Copperfield and Bleak House), but I've become a huge Dickens fan. So, um, thanks, Ethan Hawke?
