The House of Mirth
The first time I read this book, I was very impressed by Edith Wharton and the awful pictures she paints of Lily Bart's life. This time, since I already knew what was going to happen, all I kept thinking was how mad I was at Lily Bart. I kept telling her, SUCK IT UP, WOMAN. CAN'T YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING? She didn't listen to me.
