DID NOT FINISH: 68%

This was a re-read anyway for my literature class – but I didn't get to re-read in its entirety, and I'm DNF-ing until I have time again to re-read it slowly and without university requirements looming over my heads especially seeing as we're moving on to other texts. 

But! What I got through thus far is as brilliant, and funny, and gothic as I remember. Still a favourite.

The prose was too convoluted and long-winded for me, and the story/plot/characters did not hook me.
