A review by scruffie
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
DNF. I tried really hard but, god, I just can't stand Whitman's "(white) america is amazing" attitude. I can see how some aspects of his views can be considered progressive for his time, but I can't deal with the blatant parriotism or Whitman's overt confidence.
From the poems I read I liked only one (when I heard the learn'd astronomer.) but I'm not willing to read over 450 more pages looking for the next good 8 lines.
