Bleak House is number 54 on Goodreads' List of Most Difficult Novels Piggy's brain would explode from trying to read the preface. It's an interesting list. It looks as if many readers have confused tedious with difficult. No matter. Piggy could not read any of them, although he may identify with the narrator Benjy Compson in "The Sound and the Fury".IT'S BLEAK HOUSE BUT IT'S IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE AND IT GOES ON FOR NINE HUNDRED AND TWELVE PAGES!
I should note I don't think Bleak House is anywhere within Fatty's levels of literacy.
Piggy's reading level is somewhere above "Baby's First Coloring Book" and below an issue of Highlights magazine. Trying to read "Green Eggs and Ham" or "Where the Wild Things Are" would just confuse and anger him. He would self-soothe by eating an entire box of Fruit Loops. He self-soothes like that a lot. The proof: He's fat.
