Book Description
When Lemuel Gulliver sets off from London on a sea voyage, little does he know the many incredible and unbelievable misadventures awaiting. Shipwrecked at sea and nearly drowned, he washes ashore upon an exotic island called Liliput--where the people are only six inches tall! Next he visits a land of incredible giants called the Brobdingnagians. They are more than sixty feet tall! he travels to Lapauta, a city that floats in the city, and to Glubbdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers. his final voyage brings him into contact with the Yahoos--a brutish race of subhumans--and an intelligent and virtuous race of horse, the Houyhnhnms.

If you understand going into Gulliver that it's satirical, you'll probably enjoy it. If you think of it as just an interesting adventure story, it will bore you to death. I'm a science studies student, so I was reading for Swift's satire on the Royal Society and other such things.
Taken as a whole, the book is a bit daunting. Luckily it's broken up into 4 parts, so I took it bit by bit. It was enjoyable, but probably not something I'd read again - at least not in its entirety.
