Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes

2.0

---

Deadly dull until maybe halfway through, and the slang leaves this book open to a LOT of homoerotic innuendo -- and then you hit the part where it kind of isn't innuendo, and Hughes is actually trying to say that sometimes boys screw other boys, but he's doing it in his staunch British way and it's just awkward on all levels.
