OMG I HATED Heart of Darkness. We read it in high school and I hated it then as well. The only thing I hated more was Alas, Babylon, which is quite possibly the worst book ever written. Writing a moralistic end of days novel doesn't really have the same zing when your main characters easily find the solution to all their problems. (We have no salt, we'll all die! Oh WAIT! We have salt flats! We have no water, we'll all die! Oh WAIT! I have an artisian well!) GRRRR.
