Reaction to Alice

When I began reading Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland I had no idea how weird it was.  Honestly, I really didn't enjoy the first six chapters, but maybe it is only because I didn't understand them.  Also, knowing how much Lewis Carroll liked little girls made me wonder if something wasn't right.  I usually like fantasy but to me this book has no plot or reason.  It makes it rather difficult to read and understand.  The class discussion today helped me understand the book a little more, and now I know that many of the experiences described were inside jokes for the girls the book was written for.  Still, I don't find many of the descriptions and conversations as funny as I thought they would have been after reading the introduction.  Maybe it will get better...who knows!
