I just finished reading Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver Travels and was really surprised with his bitter and pessimistic view of humanity. I always thought that, since this is a book recommended for children in school, it would be a lot lighter. I was quite familiarized with the first part of the book – Gulliver’s journey to Lilliput – but was really surprised with the other 3 adventures. Fun, but a little too dark for me.

Have you read Gulliver’s Travels?
