Far from the Madding Crowd was one of my GSCE English Literature texts, I've always thought that the analysis of books that got done in english lessons rather spoiled the enjoyment of the book itself. I got a B at the end of it though. Just finished reading "Round Ireland with a Fridge" by Tony Hawks (no, not the stakeboarding chappie), that was pretty fab.
