AA - did you have to read it for high school english?

I seem to recall the book being famous for being the oldest piece of literature hanging around on paper or something. It's fine, really, but I think it's notoriety was achieved because of its age.

Bob Costas is terrible. That video is terrible.

Mike Tirico and his Hulk hands from the NBA Finals are not impressed, either.

I had to read it back in Senior English in HS. My teacher read it and most of the class slept.

Yep...10th grade English. Hardest book I've ever had to read. I don't care if it's a classic or not...I couldn't stand Grendel and the lot.

I'd* recommend John Gardner's book Grendel, which was written from the monster's point of view.

Manning Bar Mitzvah, spooky scary.
Boys becoming men, Men becoming Mannings!!!

This whole premise is sweaty!

It's not a "book," it's an epic poem, muthafucka!
