I read these classic tales in high school, and I recall that I enjoyed "Heart of Darkness." It lives true to it's name, revealing the dark and evil soul of Mr. Kurtz (the main character). This copy was well used in school and has some underlining and notes, but is in perfectly readable condition!

This book is said to be quite controversial but an intriguing read nonetheless. One of the shortest and most challenging books I've read so far.

I read this book in school and I keep thinking that I will read it again but I never do. I remember having a hard time getting through it when I was reading it in school and I was glad that I had my teacher to help me through the symbolizm.
