Clarissa

If you ever get the urge to read Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady by Samuel Richardson...

Don't.

There are a lot of bad books out there. I take it this was one of them.

I remember starting this one, but never finishing. Am I remembering correctly - its looonnnng, boring and Clarissa is such a special snowflake that she makes you want to gag.

I've seen the TV adaptation with Sean Bean, which was bad enough. Having seen that, I wouldn't touch the book with a ten foot pole.
